Why Mobile Mechanics Need a Merchant Account

Many small business owners rely on peer-to-peer apps like Venmo or Cash App for convenience, but those tools aren’t built for business use. A merchant account gives your business the ability to securely accept credit and debit cards from anywhere — through your phone, tablet, or mobile terminal — with proper security, reporting, and reliability.

With a professional merchant account, you can:

• Accept all major credit cards on-site
• Reduce chargeback and fraud risks through PCI-compliant processing
• Offer customers professional receipts and invoices
• Access same-day or next-day deposits
• Track sales and customer data through a single dashboard
