Frequently Asked Questions
Can I collect earnest money via credit card?
Possible but rarely done due to fees on large amounts. Most earnest money is collected via personal check, cashier's check, or wire transfer to escrow/title company. Card processing fees on $10k+ would be substantial.
What about collecting service fees from clients?
For admin fees, transaction fees, or marketing fees (where legal), Square invoicing works well. Some brokerages charge buyers/sellers flat fees that are easier to collect via card than at closing.
