Why Vertlo
Merchant experience
Payment failures cost sales. Processing fees eat into margin. We built Vertlo because we run brands too, and know what’s at stake when money stops moving.
That experience drives the platform: control over your payment setup, visibility across your accounts and a team that understands the commercial impact.
High-risk payment expertise
High-risk businesses need more than a standard application. We assess your products, markets and processing history, identify suitable accounts and prepare your application for underwriting.
From the first review to the supporting documents, our team works through the application with you. Your business gets a case built around how it actually operates.
Shopify integration
Your checkout is where a sale becomes revenue. Connect your Vertlo payment setup to Shopify and keep the store you’ve invested in.
We guide the integration and support the connection, so your customers can pay through your existing checkout.
Specialist support
When a payment issue affects your business, you need people who understand it. Speak to specialists who know your accounts, fees and processing setup.
Get direct answers from application and integration through to day-to-day processing. The support continues after you’re connected.
Questions, answered
Account approval, fees, integration and support. Here’s how Vertlo works.
Contact usAn account closure calls for a proper review of your payment setup. Bring the provider’s closing letter and your processing history. We assess the reason for closure and identify alternative accounts your business can apply for. New accounts remain subject to underwriting.
Ask the provider that closed your account to confirm your status and the reason. Share that information with our team so the review starts with the facts. Available options depend on the reason for listing and underwriting requirements; approval or removal cannot be guaranteed.
We assess your business model, products, markets and processing history, then work through the application and supporting documents with you. Final approval rests with underwriting. Every business is reviewed individually.
Your business, documentation and integration determine the timeline. We identify the requirements upfront and set out the steps from application to connection after reviewing your setup.
Compare processing at 1.8% in the calculator, then get a personalised quote covering your complete setup. We set out the processing rate and any additional charges before you commit. Final terms depend on your business and agreed account.
Yes. Vertlo includes chargeback management and dispute tools so you can track disputes alongside your payment activity. Our team explains the tools and support available for your setup. Dispute outcomes depend on the individual case.
Vertlo is built for high-risk merchants, online stores, subscription businesses and businesses managing multiple payment accounts. Each application is assessed against eligibility, compliance and underwriting requirements.
