A processing limit is an upper cap on your ability to process card and bank transfer (ACH) transactions through your Housecall Pro account. This limit applies on a monthly basis and resets at the start of each month. If a transaction would exceed your total transaction processing limit for the month, the transaction will be blocked, and you should accept payment via other methods or wait until your limit resets.

Housecall Pro does not put processing limits in place lightly because we know it affects your ability to bring in business and take payments easily. Ultimately, we’re trying to prevent both your business and Housecall Pro from losing money in disputes or other risky scenarios.

You may have a limit on your account for a number of different scenarios that include but are not limited to:

You will be notified via email whenever a processing limit is applied to your account, or when an existing limit is changed or removed. You’ll also receive an email when you process 50% and 75% of your monthly limit.

We are dedicated to making the checkout process with your customers as professional and seamless as possible. That’s why if a transaction were to be blocked because you went past your processing limit, your customer would not see that the transaction was blocked because of a processing limit on your account. In an instance like this, simply ask your customer to pay via another method or wait until your limit resets.

Transactions that are under your limit will be processed normally. If a transaction were to exceed your processing limit, it would be blocked, and you would need to collect payment another way.
