What Types of Merchants Can I Refer?

You can refer most legitimate business types, including:

  • Brick-and-mortar retailers and restaurants
  • E-commerce and subscription businesses
  • B2B and invoice-driven merchants
  • Professional services, medical, fitness, auto, hospitality, nonprofits, and more

Host Merchant Services also has programs, through dedicated partners, for many high-risk verticals, subject to stricter underwriting and card-brand rules. Certain activities may still be prohibited or limited by acquiring banks or card networks, so final eligibility is always determined during underwriting.
