Merchant accounts for SaaS and software companies with subscription billing, dunning, tokenized security and API integration backed by multiple acquiring banks. Apply with confidence.
SaaS and software companies often struggle to find reliable payment processing. Traditional processors flag recurring billing models as high risk, which can lead to frozen funds and account terminations. As a high risk merchant account provider, Daystar offers dedicated merchant accounts backed by multiple acquiring banks that understand recurring revenue models.
We support tiered plans, usage-based pricing, annual and monthly cycles and mid-cycle upgrades, with smart retry logic and dunning management to recover revenue before subscribers cancel. Dedicated account managers and real-time reporting help you watch churn, approval rates and disputes in one place. You get one partner for billing, security and support.
Daystar works with 20 acquiring banks across 4 continents, including banks that underwrite SaaS in higher-risk categories. There are no long-term contracts, most decisions arrive within 24 hours, and most approved merchants are live within 3 business days. Clear terms and easy cancellation flows speed up review for SaaS payment processing.
Accept all major cards for self-serve signups, annual contracts and enterprise plans. Account updater support, network tokens where available and fraud screening for free-trial abuse help keep good subscribers active and stop bad actors before they create chargebacks. Clear descriptors that match your product name reduce disputes from customers.


Our gateway integrates with the platforms SaaS businesses already use, including Stripe-compatible APIs, REST endpoints and hosted payment pages. Tokenized storage and encryption protect customer payment data, and our team provides direct integration support. Hosted pages keep card data off your servers, which reduces your PCI scope, while webhooks keep your billing system in sync with every charge.
Let users upgrade, renew or add seats from mobile apps and mobile web with fast, tokenized checkout. Returning customers pay without re-entering card details, and mobile transactions appear in the same reporting as desktop sales. Mobile web checkout keeps payments on your own merchant account, giving you control of payment data and the customer relationship.

Offer ACH and eCheck for enterprise customers and annual invoices. Bank payments reduce processing costs on large contracts, avoid card expiration churn and match how many finance teams prefer to pay software vendors. You can set net terms on invoices and let customers pay by bank transfer directly from a hosted invoice page, with payment status updated automatically.

Automate tiered plans, usage-based pricing, trials, prorated upgrades and annual or monthly cycles. Smart retries, pre-expiration reminders and dunning emails recover failed payments before subscribers cancel, protecting monthly recurring revenue. Mid-cycle upgrades and downgrades are prorated automatically, and account updater keeps expiring cards current so renewals go through without asking customers for new details.

Sell software to customers worldwide with multi-currency pricing and domestic or offshore processing. Local currency checkout improves conversion, and routing international cards to suitable acquiring banks helps reduce cross-border declines. Currency-level reporting shows revenue by market, and multiple MIDs let you separate regions or product lines when your volume grows across borders.
