The HMS Referral Program

Refer businesses to Host Merchant Services and earn commissions while HMS handles onboarding, support, and payment processing from start to finish.

Earn Commission While Delivering Real Value to Businesses

A strong referral engine is one of the most ignored income sources, but it can also be one of the most profitable. The Host Merchant Services Referral Program offers a straightforward way to earn extra money while connecting businesses to a processor that focuses on transparency, service, and long-term merchant satisfaction.

When you refer a business to HMS and they become an active merchant, you earn commissions for every approved account. More importantly, each referral boosts your reputation by connecting your network to a partner that delivers real value.

At Host Merchant Services, we support your referrals with solid operational support and attentive merchant care. As a registered ISO backed by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Concord, CA, we ensure stability while providing excellent responsiveness for both merchants and agents.

A Referral Program Designed for Success

Most referral programs act like simple lead buckets. You drop a name in, and the processor takes over. But HMS designed its referral system to work smoothly with your main portfolio-building efforts.

What makes it easy?

Fast payouts as soon as referred accounts activate.
No sales work is needed since our team handles outreach and onboarding.
Simple submissions through an easy online form.
No complicated requirements or penalties.
A strong credibility boost for businesses who collaborate with other business owners.

Whether you’re building your portfolio, nurturing local connections, or helping businesses save money, the program adds an easy income stream to your daily work.

How Does the HMS Referral Process Work?

A Three-Step Process Designed to Protect Your Time and Boost Your Earnings

The process has been designed to be incredibly straightforward: no calls, no negotiations, and no added oversight required from you.

Submit the Referral

Provide the business owner with an overview of HMS and inform them that you are linking them to a provider recognized for clear pricing, superior service and genuine cost savings. After that fill out the form to secure the lead.

HMS Manages Every Outreach Effort

Our team reaches out to the business, describes our merchant services, responds to inquiries, and guides them through the setup steps. You don’t have to pitch follow up or finalize the deal; our team handles all of it from this point onward.

Earn Commissions for Every Approved Account

Once the business signs and becomes an active HMS merchant, you receive commissions. Payments can be credited to your account or issued as a gift card.

What Makes HMS Referral Program Standout?

HMS was built on a service-first philosophy. That means every merchant you send to us is treated with priority-level support and full transparency. Our model is designed to strengthen your credibility, not risk it.
