Your payment stack

Everything you need to take payments, set up as one

We don’t just open an account. We set up and orchestrate every layer, so payments go through, fraud stays out and disputes get stopped early.

Merchant account & MCC

Set up under the right merchant category code, so costs and approvals start right.

Gateway setup

Connected to your site, cart or CRM, and tested before you go live.

3DS

Customers confirm online purchases with their bank, and liability for fraud disputes can shift to the issuer, with some exceptions.

Fraud scrub

Velocity, AVS, CVV, device and IP rules that screen every order before it’s authorized.

Stopping BIN attacks

Bots testing stolen or generated card numbers, blocked at the gateway before they cost you.

RDR, Ethoca alerts & VDO

Disputes resolved before they become chargebacks or count against your ratios.

Compelling evidence

Stronger responses to the disputes that still come through, so you win more of them.

Issuing BIN setup

For programs that issue their own prepaid, gift or virtual cards.

Consulting after approval

Most providers stop at approval. That’s where our work starts.

Opening the account is step three of six. We stay on it with you: watching, tuning and planning, so your processing gets better every month instead of drifting.

What consulting covers

Everything you need to thrive after you’re approved

One view of everything

Every qualified MID and website on one screen: volume, approvals, chargebacks, dispute alerts and deposits, measured the same way.

Chargeback & VAMP watch

Ratios tracked by card brand and checked often, with a month-end forecast. We call you before you get near a threshold.

Fee and rate reviews

We read your statements so you don’t have to, track your effective rate, and go back to the processor when fees creep up.

Approval-rate tuning

Declines broken down by reason, with fixes to descriptors, retries and checkout that recover real revenue.

Fraud and dispute tools

3DS, fraud scrub rules and protection against BIN attacks, plus RDR, Ethoca alerts and VDO to stop disputes before they count. We tune them so good customers still get through.

Room to grow

Higher limits, backup accounts, ACH and new markets, arranged before you need them rather than after a hold.

How it works

Three steps to approved, and a partner after that

  1. 1

    Tell us about your business

    Two minutes: your industry, volume and how you sell. A consultant calls you back to fill in the rest.

  2. 2

    We match you with the right processor

    We submit to the acquirer whose underwriting fits you, with the documents it needs, so you aren’t declined for avoidable reasons.

  3. 3

    You’re approved. We keep working.

    Your account joins our platform. We review it with you and keep it healthy, efficient and ready to grow.

FAQ

Questions merchants ask us first

All questions

What does PaymentHelp do?

We set up and orchestrate your payment stack: merchant accounts, gateway setup, 3DS and fraud scrub, and dispute alerts like RDR, Ethoca and VDO, matched to how you sell. After you’re live we keep consulting on the account: monitoring chargebacks, approval rates, fraud tools and fees, and helping you grow.

How are you different from other providers?

Most providers open your account and move on to the next one. We stay with you. We plan for the long haul: checking your ratios, fees and fraud tools often, fixing problems before they put the account at risk, and adding capacity when you’re ready to grow. The goal is simple: keep you open, and keep you growing.

How are you different from a processor?

A processor can only offer its own program. We work with multiple processing partners, so we can submit your business to the one whose underwriting fits your industry and history. And we stay with you after approval instead of handing you to a support queue.

What happens after my account is approved?

You get a bird’s-eye view of your processing across every qualified account, and a consultant who reviews it with you. We watch your ratios against card-brand thresholds, check your statements for fee creep, tune your fraud scrub and dispute alerts, and help you add capacity as you grow.

Can you help if Stripe, PayPal or Square shut me down?

Yes. Those platforms restrict many industries by policy. We move you to a dedicated merchant account with an acquirer that knowingly accepts your business, so you aren’t at risk of the same shutdown.

What do I need to apply?

To start, just your contact details, your industry and your monthly volume. Your consultant then tells you exactly which documents the matched processor needs. Usually ID, a voided check, and recent bank and processing statements.

Which industries do you work with?

More than forty, from CBD, nutraceuticals, bail bonds, travel and gaming. See the full list on our Industries page.
