Is Volusion Payments a gateway?
Volusion Payments Powered by Stripe is a complete solution that combines the functionality of a merchant account and a gateway in one, which means you can accept payments and deposit funds into a bank account without extra steps or additional tools to maintain.
Why should I use Volusion Payments instead of other gateways?
Volusion merchants who choose to use an alternative supported payment gateway are subject to Gateway Maintenance Fees per transaction of 1.25% for Personal Plans, 0.65% for Professional Plans, 0.35% for Business Plans, and custom percentages for Prime Plans.
Who is Volusion Payments for? Who cannot use Volusion Payments?
- Volusion Payments is currently available to merchants living and operating out of the United States that aren’t selling prohibited products/services.
- You must have Premium Checkout enabled to be eligible for Volusion Payments. Follow these step-by-step instructions in our Help Center to enable this enhanced checkout process.
I submitted my application, now what?
A Client Growth Specialist will contact you to obtain and confirm your business model, billing practices, product usage, processing history, etc so that our credit underwriters can assess your application. Be sure to provide all information and/or documents so that we can underwrite quickly. Typical underwriting turnaround time is 24 hours.
How long does it take to get paid?
Your first payout is typically available 7 days after you add your bank account and take your first successful payment on Stripe. This waiting period can be up to 30 days for businesses in certain industries. This delay allows Volusion to mitigate some of the risks inherent in providing credit services. This initial payout timing requirement cannot be waived. Any changes made to your payout timing or payout method during this time will take effect after this initial delay.
For the 2nd payout and onward, your standard payout timing will be on a 2-day rolling basis.
If you have been actively processing during the underwriting process, once approved, your initial payout will be 2-3 business days from the time of approval and then all payments afterward would be on the 2-day rolling basis.
What happens if I don’t get approved?

*What Merchant Underwriting Means:
Volusion assumes risk when providing payment services. To mitigate this risk, we complete careful analyses and evaluate applicants while meeting the standards set forth by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, our Terms of Service, card brand rules, and all laws and regulations. Volusion will conduct our review of your application by completing a business credit check and a soft personal credit check that will not affect your credit score. We may also ask for documents such as Articles of Incorporation, Operating Agreement, Employer Identification Number/Social Security Number Verification Document, Address Verification Document, Business Bank Statements, Financial Statements, Tax Returns, and other documents as needed.
