Floorzap Payments Onboarding Guide

Below is your step-by-step onboarding guide, packed with essential resources either to get you started or make your experience better!

1. Merchant Portal: Your Payments Hub
Access your Merchant Portal to manage all payment activities:

  • View financial reports & payout tracking

  • Update bank account details

  • Add team members (send user invites)

  • Handle chargeback disputes

Portal Navigation here: Payments Intro | Log into your portal here: payments.floorzap.com

2. Floorzap Web Application System Settings

Please review and ensure these are implemented prior to taking payments on any related Floorzap invoices

3. Multi-location Stores

  • Each location must be added to your account

  • You're responsible for entering the correct bank account info for each location

  • If you're using multiple bank accounts, let Payments Support know how each account is linked to its location

4. Credit Card Surcharging: Quick Facts

  • You can choose to add a small surcharge to credit card payments to offset processing fees

  • Applies to credit cards only – not debit, ACH, cash, or check

  • Shown clearly to customers before payment

  • Helps protect your margins while staying transparent

  • If surcharging wasn't selected in onboarding, reach out to Floorzap support at support@floorzap.com to enable.

Surcharging is allowed in most states; we automatically disable it where restricted.

5. Ordering Payment Terminals

Need devices for in-person payments?

6. Settlement Timelines

  • Credit cards: Funds typically arrive in 2 business days.

  • ACH: Funds typically arrive in 5 business days but can accelerate to 2 business days once new account risk checks are passed after 30 days of processing.

  • Bank holidays impact when your funds are settled.

7. Net vs. Gross Deposits

  • Default: Payouts are net (sales minus fees)

  • Volume = Gross Amount

  • Payout = Net Amount

8. Fraud Prevention Tips
Protect your business with these best practices:

  • Verify high-value or rushed orders (call the customer directly)

  • Post clear refund policies (reduce disputes).

  • Monitor flagged transactions in your portal

9. Chargeback Policy & Defense
If a dispute arises:

  • You'll receive an email + portal notification.

  • Submit relevant documentation (receipts, contracts, proof of delivery) to fight the claim.

  • Need help? Our team can guide you, but you must submit the documents.
