Merchant Services For Antique Shop’s

Antique Shop Merchant Account

Antique shops and businesses need to be able to accept debit and credit payments in order to best serve their customers. It is crucial for both online as well as brick-and-mortar antique stores. However, getting an antique shop merchant account is not easy because this type of business is considered high risk by payment processors. So, in order to accept payments via debit or credit card, you will need a high risk merchant services provider.

How to Get Antique Shop Merchant Services

You can get an antique shop merchant account by finding a high-risk payment processor. However, finding the right provider is crucial for such business because of its high-risk nature. Following are some tips that will help you make sure that you choose a provider that best suits your business needs:

1) Do Your Research

When it comes to finding a high-risk payment processing company, you will need to take several things into consideration. First, it is recommended that you find a provider that has a track record of working with antique stores as well as other high-risk merchants. Next, check reviews on the provider and see if they are mostly positive. You should also check their prices. You want to work with a provider that doesn’t charge higher fees that you should be paying. Last but not least, read the terms and conditions of their service so you can avoid any potential problems.

2) Avoid Long Term Contracts

Some high-risk payment providers will ask that you sign up for a long-term contract. You should avoid it. This is because the nature of antique shop business is risky as there are more risks for changes that could impact your company needs in the future. That’s why it is recommended that you go with a provider that offers flexibility and short-term contracts.

3) Find Providers That Offer Key Services

There are some key services that you should look out for when searching for a high-risk payment service provider. These include credit card terminals, mobile payment solutions, payment integrations, gateways, and POS systems. While it is highly unlikely to find a provider that offers all of these services, it’s helpful if you can find one that can offer most of them.

Why Are Antique Shops Considered High Risk?

Many credit card processors do not accept antique businesses mainly because of their high-risk nature. Following are some reasons why antique shops are considered high risk:


1) Products sold at antique shops are usually high dollar items. Because of their increased value, they are generally the target of fraud where customers will buy the item and initiate a chargeback afterwards. Then they try to make a profit by reselling the item on open market.

2) Fraudsters use stolen credit cards to buy antiques and then resell, while the legitimate owner of the credit card initiates the chargeback.

3) Authenticity of antique products can be disputed. Because of this, the potential for a swindling merchant to sell counterfeit products is a chargeback risk.

4) Because of these risks, the entire antiques industry is considered high-risk and hence, most credit card processors decline to do business with antique shops.

Documents Needed for an Antique Shop Merchant Account:

Since antique shops are considered high risk, the documents required to get a merchant account for them are roughly the same as with any high-risk business. These include SSN or EIN, fully operational website, a government-issued valid ID e.g. driver’s license or passport, pre-printed voided check or a bank letter, and the most recent bank statements and processing statements. Apart from these, there are a couple of additional documents that you may need to provide in order to get an antique shop merchant account. These include: certificate of incumbency and certificate of incorporation (or similar document).
