Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in merchant services for specialty businesses? Expand
North’s merchant services include the ability to process all types of payments. Everything from traditional payments such as cash, check, and debit and credit cards, to gift cards, to contactless payments. Our merchant accounts include features such as inventory management, loyalty programs, and more with free and paid Payments Hub plan options.
How secure are your payment processing solutions? Expand
No one takes safeguarding sensitive cardholder data more seriously than North. Our payment technologies are PCI-compliant, regardless of how your customers pay. This means they adhere to the very latest Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) for maintaining a secure environment.
What is a good rate for merchant services? Expand
Specialty industries tend to have a higher processing rate due to the perceived increase in risk. However, North offers competitive pricing for all industries that we support.
Specialty industries are complex, so North's integrations aren’t.
Our low-code, no-code integrations clear the path so that specialty business owners can focus on navigating the regulations of their industry, not figuring out how to integrate their payment processing.
When others say “no,” we say “yes.”
We know finding a payments partner can be difficult if you’re running a specialty business. North has the experience to guide you through payment solutions so you never have to worry about getting paid.
