Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions specific to medical supplies merchant accounts:
-
What types of home furnishing industry businesses do you accept?
Soar Payments accepts a wide range of retail, eCommerce and dropshipping companies within the home furnishing industry. These include custom furniture makers, luxury furniture makers, local home furnishing boutiques, and eCommerce retailers who operate nationally. Many banks will not provide merchant services to furniture dealers who sell online, but Soar Payment specializes in providing merchants accounts in this area.
To be approved, your furniture business must prove it can maintain a chargeback ratio below 2%. Applicants with a history of chargeback ratios exceeding 3% cannot be approved. Additionally, your business must be located, and operate, solely within the United States of America. The business owner must also be a US citizen or valid visa holder.
-
Is there a transaction ceiling for furniture merchant accounts?
We understand that custom furniture builds, or large furniture orders, can equate to a transaction of thousands of dollars (or even tens of thousands of dollars). For many furniture businesses, it’s imperative that they be able to process very large ticket sizes and pre-authorizations.
During the application process, you can tell us how much your largest typical ticket size runs; when an underwriter reviews your application, it will be reviewed with your business’ specific transaction ceiling in mind. However, know that a larger the approved single ticket size, equates to more perceived financial risk to the credit card processor. Therefore, you may be asked to provide business financials or other documentation if the underwriting team deems necessary. If requesting an average ticket size larger than $5,000, you will likely be asked to provide the prior two years of business financials.
Additionally, you may be asked to provide an inventory list or catalog showing the furniture items being sold (if this not available online). You may also be required to provide a sample customer contract for deliveries or “custom build” type sales.
