Furniture Business Merchant Account
What is a furniture merchant account?
A furniture merchant account allows furniture retailers and ecommerce furniture stores to accept secure card payments for high-ticket orders. Because furniture is often treated as high risk due to large order values, delivery delays and chargebacks, We Tranxact Ltd connects UK and European furniture businesses with specialist payment processors who understand the sector.

We Can Help With Your Furniture Merchant Account
Looking for specialist furniture merchant account services? We Tranxact focuses on payment processing solutions built for furniture retailers, online furniture stores and high-ticket homeware brands. Whether you operate a physical showroom, ecommerce site or hybrid model, we help you accept card payments smoothly and securely.
As a furniture merchant account broker, we understand the challenges that come with high average order values, long delivery times and complex refunds. Our network of providers offers secure, integrated and scalable furniture payment processing across the UK and Europe.
Why Are Furniture Business Merchant Accounts Considered High Risk?
Furniture businesses are often classified as high risk by banks and acquirers. Reasons include:
- High-ticket orders: Large transaction values create higher exposure for chargebacks.
- Extended delivery times: Long lead times can trigger disputes and refunds.
- Ecommerce fraud: Online furniture stores face elevated fraud risk.
- Complex logistics: Damaged or delayed deliveries can lead to complaints.
Because of this, furniture merchants need robust payment gateways, risk controls and specialist underwriting. We broker accounts specifically for these conditions.
What Should You Expect from a Furniture Merchant Account?
A good furniture merchant account should:
- Handle high-ticket card payments without constant declines.
- Offer fair transaction fees for large orders.
- Provide a secure, reliable ecommerce and POS payment gateway.
- Include tools to monitor and reduce chargebacks.
- Give you responsive support when issues arise.
Card processors may add terms such as rolling reserves or slightly higher fees to manage risk. A rolling reserve means holding a small percentage of your sales for a set period to cover potential chargebacks. This protects both your business and the acquirer.

How to Improve Your Chances of Furniture Merchant Account Approval
Underwriters decide whether your furniture business is approved. You can improve approval odds by:
- Reducing outstanding debts: Clear business bills and liabilities where possible.
- Providing audited accounts: Show stable trading history and cash flow.
- Showing previous card processing history: Good volumes and low disputes are powerful evidence.
- Maintaining emergency reserves: Demonstrate that your business can handle returns and slow periods.
- Keeping chargebacks low: Show strong delivery, customer service and refund processes.
- Maintaining good personal and business credit: Timely payments improve your risk profile.
We can advise you on presenting your business in the best possible way to merchant banks and acquirers.
