Merchant Support Representative
Be the person a merchant reaches when a terminal stops working or a deposit does not arrive. Remote, US business hours.
About the role
When a business owner cannot take a card, or a batch has not settled, or a statement shows a fee they do not recognise, they call support. What happens next decides whether they stay with us.
This role is the whole of that. You answer email, phone and web tickets from merchants across the US, work out what is actually wrong, fix what you can and escalate what you cannot. A lot of it is explaining things that were never explained properly in the first place.
You need patience and clear writing more than you need payments experience. We will teach you the payments part. We cannot teach somebody to care whether the merchant on the other end gets sorted out.
What you will be doing
- Answer merchant questions by ticket, email and phone during US business hours
- Troubleshoot terminal, gateway and settlement problems, and escalate what needs escalating
- Explain statement line items and fees to merchants in plain English
- Open and track tickets in the back office so nothing is lost between people
- Spot merchants heading for a risk or chargeback problem and flag them early
- Write short, clear replies that a busy owner can act on
What we need from you
- Authorized to work in the United States
- Based in the United States
- Able to pass a background check after an offer is made
- 1+ year in customer support, service or a similar role
- Clear written English — most of this job is writing
- Able to work US business hours, Monday to Friday
- Reliable internet and a quiet place to work
Nice to have, not required
- Experience supporting payments, POS, SaaS or fintech customers
- Worked with a ticketing system before
- Spanish or another second language
What we offer
- Remote, fixed weekday hours, no night shifts
- Proper training on how payments actually work
- A say in how the support process gets built — it is early enough to shape it
- Direct access to the owner
How to apply
The application takes about ten minutes. A resume helps but is not required, and a person reads every one. If your background fits, you will hear from us within about a week — and if it does not, we will still write back.
