A Master Merchant, also known as a Payment Service Provider (PSP), allows multiple sub-merchants, such as U.S.-based nonprofits, to process payments under one primary merchant account.
Instead of each charity going through complex bank approvals and merchant account setups, they operate under the Master Merchant’s established infrastructure. At Master Merchant, we act as a bridge to the financial system, providing a pre-validated umbrella that enables nonprofits to begin accepting online payments quickly and securely.
For many charities, securing a traditional nonprofit merchant account can be frustrating and time-consuming. Lengthy approval processes, excessive paperwork, and being labeled “high-risk” by traditional banks often delay access to critical donation funds.
At Master Merchant, we eliminate these obstacles. Using our secure, pre-approved merchant infrastructure, we simplify and accelerate the onboarding process, transforming what normally takes weeks into The 90-Minute Miracle: a fast, reliable, and hassle-free way for nonprofits to start accepting payments.
Whether you are collecting online donations, managing a gala, or processing payments at a local fundraising event, we provide the tools you need to succeed.
Why wait 30 days? Our internal vetting process is built for maximum speed, allowing you to start non-profit card processing almost immediately.
Gain access to the world’s most trusted payment systems without the typical onboarding delays or technical barriers.
No tech degree required. We help you integrate our secure merchant accounts into your website seamlessly, so you can focus on your mission.
We handle the technical complexities of secure charity payment processing, ensuring your funds reach your bank account safely and quickly.
When a donor enters their details, the data travels through a Payment Gateway. The Master Merchant communicates with the donor’s bank to verify funds. Once approved, the funds are collected into our secure account and settled into your organization’s bank. This happens in seconds, and we provide the “out-of-the-box” technical setup to make it possible.
