Take a deposit weeks before the van arrives.

Contractors, builders and trades (MCC 1711) take money before the work starts and get underwritten for the gap. Materials have to be bought now, out of cash an acquirer is holding back. Push-finality settlement removes the hold.

Why this category gets penalised

The problem is the gap between paying and travelling.

Deposits taken weeks before the work

A deposit collected in March for a June installation sits inside the acquirer's dispute window the entire time. Long-fulfilment trades are a standard reserve category for exactly that reason.

Settlement is treated as final only once the transaction confirms, and that confirmed leg is not a card-network dispute rail, so the scheduling gap stops mattering to your cash position.

Disputes after the job is signed off

Workmanship disagreements arrive as card disputes, where the funds are pulled back from you first and argued about afterwards, with a fee either way and no site visit in the evidence pack.

Zoyn does not reverse a settled transfer, so a workmanship disagreement stays a conversation about your contract instead of an issuer's decision.

Subcontractors waiting on your settlement

You are paid in a batch and your electrician, plumber and materials supplier are paid out of it later, which puts your working capital between the customer and the trades.

Settlement reaches your wallet after the required network confirmations, so your working capital never sits between them and the trades — paying on is a USDC transfer whose timing you control, not a batch you wait for.

How it works

One payment, settled to a wallet you control.

How a travel booking settles through ZoynA traveller pays a booking link. The payment reaches a settlement contract, which divides it in fixed proportions set when it was deployed and pays the merchant’s own wallet and the platform fee directly. Zoyn sits outside the flow of funds.TravellerHostedcheckoutSplitcontractYour walletPlatform feeZoyn (config)Funds never pass through Zoyn
1

Create the job link

Set the deposit or stage amount and the job reference. Send it by text, by email, or on your own quote.

2

Customer pays their way

Card or crypto on a hosted checkout. Card availability depends on the buyer's location, currency, and available checkout providers. Card-funded payments are handled upstream by integrated global on-ramp bridges — you never handle card details.

3

Split contract routes the job payment

Shares are fixed in bps when the contract is deployed: your share and the platform fee. Every payment follows them exactly, verifiable on a public block explorer.

4

USDC lands in your vault

Smart-contract vault settlement on Base L2, final after the required network confirmations, into a wallet you control — cash for materials on the day, not after a batch cycle.

Coverage

Where we can onboard you today.

Category

MCC 1711 and 7349 are supported categories in this group. Your declared category is checked at signup.

Jurisdictions we cannot serve

We cannot onboard merchants operating from comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions. A US state stays open when at least one checkout partner still serves buyers there. We do not hold ourselves out as licensed anywhere.

Wallet addresses you'll be paid to are checked against sanctions lists when you enter them, and re-checked every day after that.

Common questions

What home services & trades merchants ask first.

Can we take a deposit now and the balance on completion?

Yes — that is two links. Each one is a fixed amount you create and send when the stage is due. Zoyn does not run recurring billing, so nothing is ever taken from a customer without them completing that checkout themselves.

A customer is withholding over snagging. Are we exposed?

Not to a reversal. Money already settled cannot be clawed back, so the disagreement is about the remaining stage payment and your contract terms — a commercial negotiation rather than a card-network process with a fee attached.

Do our subcontractors need to understand crypto?

They need a wallet address to be paid into, which they control. Each address is screened against real-time on-chain compliance oracles when it is added and re-screened daily. Zoyn never holds their funds.

Legal & regulatory disclosures

Zoyn is a software provider operating a non-custodial payment orchestration platform — not a payment gateway, money transmitter, payment processor, or financial institution. Zoyn does not custody settled merchant funds or set provider reserve terms, and does not act as a merchant of record or money services business. Checkout and on-ramp providers may process or hold card- or bank-funded payments under their own terms before on-chain settlement reaches the merchant's nominated contract after required confirmations.

Direct merchant account onboarding supported across 64 verified global jurisdictions. A US state stays open when at least one checkout partner still serves buyers there. Global buyer checkout (USDC settlement) supported across 130+ countries via integrated on-ramp bridges; buyer-checkout coverage is determined by the third-party on-ramp providers, not by Zoyn, and may change without notice. Not available in sanctioned jurisdictions: CU, IR, KP, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
