Florida Merchant Services and Payment Solutions

From its growth hub in South Florida, Clearwater Processing delivers Florida merchant services built for that pace: tailored merchant accounts with next-day funding, ecommerce gateways, virtual terminals, recurring billing, and back-office solutions, with a dedicated representative clients can call directly and round-the-clock US-based support.

Our Florida Merchant Services

Florida merchant services built for the pace of Florida business, from seasonal storefront rushes to online, phone, and invoice orders, with fast funding and fast answers.

Credit Card Processing

Customized merchant accounts support stand-alone terminals, ecommerce gateways, back-office billing, multiple card types, and comprehensive reporting, with next-day funding that keeps cash moving through Florida’s busy seasons.

Ecommerce Gateway

Accept card payments online through an API-enabled gateway with PCI compliance features, reporting, breach protection insurance, and US-based support.

Virtual Terminal

Manually enter and process credit card transactions from any internet-connected device through a web-based virtual terminal designed for flexible payment acceptance.

Recurring Billing

Process recurring or subscription-based transactions through back-office billing capabilities integrated into Clearwater Processing’s broader payment services platform. Clearwater Processing can also automatically update customers’ cards that are about to expire, so recurring payments keep running without staff chasing new card details.

PCI Compliance

Support secure card acceptance with PCI compliance solutions, fraud-prevention best practices, and $100,000 breach protection insurance. Clearwater also works directly with merchants to mitigate chargeback losses and works with trusted partner companies that offer chargeback insurance products.

Statement Analysis

Review statements from providers such as local banks or national processors to identify confusing charges, hidden fees, and potential savings opportunities.

Transparent Payment Support

Payment Solutions Built For The Pace Of Florida Business

Seasonal rushes, tourism-driven peaks, and customers who expect to pay however they like, in person, online, by invoice, or on a recurring plan, keep Florida businesses moving. When sales spike, merchants cannot wait days for funds or hours for answers, and a question about a held deposit or a declined card during a busy weekend needs a person who picks up, not a ticket queue. Clearwater Processing helps Florida merchants keep pace with next-day funding, so card sales reach the business account quickly, and with direct access to a dedicated representative’s cell phone, plus US-based backend phone support 24/7/365. Clearwater’s growth hub is located in South Florida, close to the merchants it serves, and the company builds tailored processing environments for storefronts, online sellers, contractors, and service businesses across the state, supporting all card types and comprehensive reporting. Merchant statement analysis clarifies confusing fees, with clients reporting average savings of 10%–30%.
