DIGITAL MARKETING & SERVICES
Payment processing for digital marketing agencies.
Retainers, campaign deposits, project fees, and performance billing have different payment patterns. Explain how your agency gets paid before comparing processing terms.
MERCHANT ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS
The details behind your business.
Use this guide to prepare the conversation. These are questions to discuss—not a promise that any particular product, activity, or business will qualify.
01
Make your service model easy to review
Clarify which services you provide, who your clients are, and how you document delivery. Include the contracts or service terms customers accept.
02
Separate fees from pass-through costs
Explain whether you collect advertising spend, pay suppliers on a client’s behalf, or charge only for services. Large swings in billing deserve context.
03
Discuss capacity before growth
Share typical transaction sizes, recurring volume, and expected changes. Ask how a provider handles increased volume or a large new client agreement.
PREPARE FOR UNDERWRITING
What to have ready.
Your initial enquiry needs only basic business details. Save sensitive documents for the provider’s secure process.
- Service agreements and website
- Average invoices and monthly volume
- Delivery or reporting process
- Refund and dispute history
Questions about digital marketing & services
Can I use recurring billing for retainers?
Ask Axis about the options for your billing model, gateway, and customer permissions. Product availability depends on the reviewed setup.
Do you handle advertising campaigns?
ProudPay helps with the payment-processing enquiry. Your marketing services and client delivery remain your business.
Can I compare card processing with ACH?
You can ask Axis to review which payment methods may fit your invoices and clients. Costs, timing, and eligibility need to be confirmed for your account.
