Payment processing.
The system that moves money from a customer’s card or bank account into the business’s account.
What is payment processing?
Payment processing is how a business accepts card and bank payments. A processor authorizes the payment, moves the funds, and takes a fee. For a home service business, it is what lets a customer pay online or tap a card in the driveway.
Why it matters for home service businesses
The details matter to your bottom line: whether fees are marked up or passed through at cost, and how fast payouts hit your bank. Over a year, those differences add up to real money and real cash-flow impact.
