Low-Fee Processing for Climate Controlled Storage

Self Storage Management

Payment Processing

Protect the units. Protect the margins.

Climate controlled storage is already expensive to operate. Between HVAC systems, security, insurance, maintenance, staffing, and property costs, every recurring payment matters. When processing fees quietly take 3-5% from monthly rent, autopay transactions, deposits, and late payments, those fees add up fast.

Many Raleigh-area storage operators are stuck paying inflated rates through bundled software, national processors, or “easy” payment tools that were not built with their margins in mind. That money should be going toward better security, cleaner facilities, stronger climate systems, and higher occupancy, not unnecessary card fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your payment processing questions, answered

Will switching processors disrupt our storage management software?

In most cases, no. We work to understand your current setup first, including your storage management software, online rental flow, and recurring billing process. When possible, we help connect or configure payment processing in a way that keeps daily operations running smoothly.

Can you help lower fees on recurring monthly payments?

Yes. Recurring rent payments are one of the biggest opportunities for savings. We review your current rates, transaction volume, and payment types to find where fees can be reduced without creating extra friction for tenants.

Is this a good fit for climate controlled storage facilities?

Yes. Climate controlled facilities often have higher operating costs than traditional storage, so protecting recurring revenue is especially important. Lower processing fees can help preserve margins on rent payments, deposits, admin fees, and card-on-file transactions.

Do you support online payments and in-person payments?

Yes. Merchant Match can support online payments, recurring billing, card-on-file transactions, and in-person terminal payments so tenants can pay in the way that is most convenient for them.
