Payment Security & FAQ

Is it safe to collect credit card information over the phone?

Absolutely. Marlie uses PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment processing with 256-bit encryption. Card data is transmitted directly to your payment processor and never stored on our servers. It's the same security standard used by major banks and payment companies.

What payment processors does it integrate with?

Your AI agent integrates with Stripe, Square, PayPal, Authorize.net, and most major payment gateways. We can also connect to your existing merchant account if you have one. Setup takes about 10 minutes.

Can customers pay without giving card details over the phone?

Yes. Your AI agent can send a secure payment link via SMS or email. Customers click the link and enter their payment information on a secure, mobile-friendly page. Perfect for customers who prefer not to read card numbers aloud.

How quickly do funds reach my account?

Payments process instantly, and funds typically reach your bank account within 1-2 business days—the same timeline as any credit card transaction. ACH bank transfers take 3-5 business days.

Can I set up partial payments or deposits?

Yes. You can configure your AI agent to collect any amount: full payment, 50% deposit, flat fee, or custom percentage. You can also set different rules for different services or customer types.

What if a customer disputes a charge?

All transactions include call recordings, timestamps, and customer confirmation. This documentation helps resolve disputes quickly. Your payment processor handles the chargeback process according to their standard procedures.

Are there any additional fees for payment processing?

We don't charge extra for payment collection—it's included in your service. You'll pay your payment processor's standard transaction fees (typically 2.9% + $0.30 for cards), which you'd pay anyway for any card transaction.
