Live Entertainment Merchant Account

Whether you are looking to sell out a stadium for a rock concert or you just want to sell tickets to your weekly poetry jam, you will need a way to get paid for your live entertainment events. Instead of sitting around waiting to find out when, or if you are approved for a merchant account, contact Risk Free Merchant because we specialize in getting merchant account approvals done fast. Although you can use ticketing providers, these often act as third party payment processors. This means you may not get paid for days or even weeks after your event takes place. The vast majority of live entertainment acts demand payment on the day of the event so if you have to wait to receive your money from your ticketing provider, that can cause serious financial constraints.
 
With a Live Entertainment Merchant Account you have almost instant access to your ticketing revenue. Unlike third party payment processors, your venue name appears on your customer’s statement, decreasing the likelihood of chargebacks if they don’t recognize that name. Ticket providers often tack on premium fees to the cost of the ticket or add a premium to their own cost for credit card processing rates. These fees are passed down to the people attending your event, raising the price paid and potentially deterring advanced sales. Save money with our industry lowest rates. With your own Live Entertainment Merchant Account, you can avoid passing on excessive fees to your patrons and keep the entire amount charged for your business. You can also be equipped with an alternate payment processing method such as Check 21 or ACH that can reduce your processing rates and provide you with a great alternate method of payment acceptance.
 
Since sometimes live events get cancelled, credit card refunds may be unavoidable. When you use a third party payment processor, you are subject to their refund policies. This often means your venue is responsible for any fees and credit card processing charges, since they only refund the face value of the ticket. At Risk Free Merchant, part of the reason it is “risk free” is that we work hard to minimize your risk by both preventing and reducing credit card fraud, whether it’s online or in your brick and mortar store.
