Merchant accounts for extended auto warranty and vehicle service contract sellers, built for financed contracts, phone sales, and monthly installment billing. Apply with confidence.
Extended auto warranty and vehicle service contract companies are classified as high risk because of telemarketing sales, long contract terms, cancellation disputes, and heavy regulatory attention. Many processors will not board them at all. As a high risk merchant account provider, Daystar places warranty sellers, administrators, and dealer-affiliated programs with acquiring banks that understand how these contracts are sold and billed.
Your customers typically pay a down payment and then monthly installments over 12 to 60 months, often over the phone. We set you up with card-not-present processing, recurring billing, and ACH so installment plans run automatically. We have a 95% approval rate among qualified applicants, most decisions arrive within 24 hours, and there are no long-term contracts.
Take down payments and full-pay contracts by card over the phone or online. Contract prices commonly run into the thousands of dollars, so we request processing limits that match your real ticket sizes and monthly volume. Fraud screening, address verification, and chargeback alerts help protect keyed transactions, which carry more dispute risk than cards presented in person.


A secure virtual terminal and payment gateway let your sales and service agents process payments during calls, while tokenization keeps card data off your systems. The gateway can connect to your CRM or policy administration platform so each payment is tied to a contract number, which makes it easier to answer disputes with signed agreements and call records.
Field reps, dealership finance offices, and auto show booths can accept cards on a phone or tablet. Mobile payments settle to the same merchant account as your call center, so reporting stays unified, and card-present transactions with a signed contract on file are easier to defend if a customer later disputes the charge.

ACH and eCheck are well suited to monthly warranty installments. Bank debits have lower processing costs than cards on long payment plans and are not affected by card expirations or reissues. Offering ACH at signup gives customers a second way to pay and reduces the number of plans that lapse because a card on file stopped working.

Recurring billing automates monthly installments for vehicle service contracts, with scheduled charges, automatic retries on soft declines, card updater support, and prorated refunds when a contract is cancelled. Clear payment schedules and pre-charge notices reduce the confusion that drives most warranty chargebacks, especially from customers who forget they financed their coverage.

Some warranty programs sell to drivers in Canada, Puerto Rico, or other markets. Multi-currency processing and domestic and offshore acquiring options let you accept payment where your contracts are licensed to be sold, and additional MIDs can separate programs or brands so one product line does not affect another.
