Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a merchant account? Expand
A merchant account is an invaluable asset to a professional services provider because, with a knowledgeable payments provider, you are able to offer your clients payment processing options that are reliable, easy, and safe, no matter what the processing environment is.
Why can't I just use Venmo or Zelle? Expand
There are four main reasons why peer-to-peer third-party applications aren’t the best idea for business transactions. First, it is technically illegal to use free, personal platforms for business use. While some of these apps such as Venmo do have business accounts available, they stick you with fees and charges that you were likely hoping to avoid by going to them in the first place. Second, if the client has an issue with a service, it’s nearly impossible to issue a proper refund through those applications. Third, there are no reporting tools that come with these basic payment functions. Without these insights, it is significantly more difficult to actually grow your business. Lastly, you could face big penalties from the IRS, and it is easy to underreport taxable income through these channels. The last thing a budding business wants is an audit.
How to choose a professional service POS system. Expand
There are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a POS system. You need to take into account the merchandise or services you offer, the physical location of your operation (if there is one), and how much sales volume you project. For these decisions, we recommend talking with a Sales Representative, who can explain all of the use cases and work with you to get you the tools best suited for your business model.
Can customers leave cashless tips? Expand
Yes — we do offer the Tip Adjust function for customers using credit, debit, and digital forms of payment.
No developer? No problem. North will lead the way.
We know that many in the professional service industries are self-employed entrepreneurs who already do the work of multiple people. Our low-code, no-code integrations will take away work, not add more.
Payments should be the solution, not the problem.
Marketing your expertise in a professional service environment can be a challenge. Figuring out how you’re going to process payments should not be on the list of things for you to worry about.
