VMS is much more than a traditional payment processor. We help businesses with payment processing, Square and other point-of-sale systems, terminals, payment cost analysis, ecommerce and ACH tools, business funding, gift and loyalty programs, payroll and HR solutions, websites, digital marketing and other business services. Our new advocacy program can also give qualifying merchants another way to explore potential cost reductions without necessarily changing their existing processor or POS system. Your role determines which parts of the VMS offering you need to learn.

Every current opportunity on this page is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity, not W-2 employment. You are not an employee of Valued Merchant Services. These opportunities do not include a salary, hourly wage or employee benefits package. Compensation is performance based and varies by role and production.

No. VMS does not charge you to apply, join, onboard, train, remain active or participate in our opportunities. There are no VMS application fees, training fees, franchise fees, monthly membership fees, software fees, starter kits, required purchases or investments. Independent contractors are responsible for ordinary personal expenses they choose or need in order to operate independently, such as their own phone, internet or transportation.

No. Valued Merchant Services is not an MLM or network marketing opportunity. There is no buy-in, inventory requirement, starter package, monthly membership fee, product autoship or requirement to purchase products or services in order to participate or earn income. VMS is a business-services company, and independent contractors generate income from real business activity through sales, lead generation, recruiting, referrals and leadership responsibilities depending on their role. Certain recruiting and leadership roles can also earn team overrides on commissions, bonuses and residual income generated through eligible team production. Those overrides reward actual recruiting, support, management and production; they are not created by charging people to join or requiring participants to purchase products.

Yes. Because these are independent contractor opportunities, you can work full-time or part-time and set your own schedule. VMS does not assign required shifts or minimum weekly hours. Flexibility does not guarantee results, however, so the amount and consistency of productive activity still has a major impact on income.

VMS does not impose required sales quotas, minimum weekly hours or minimum production levels as a condition of remaining an independent contractor. Some bonuses, promotions, compensation tiers or special incentives can have their own qualification requirements, but there is no general production quota you must hit simply to continue working with VMS.

Many opportunities can be done remotely from home. Sales and leadership roles may also include local field activity depending on how you choose to build your business.

Not for every role. Communication, consistency, coachability, follow-through and willingness to learn are often more important than prior merchant services experience. Some leadership roles are better suited for candidates with stronger sales or management backgrounds.

Compensation varies by role and may include weekly upfront commissions, performance bonuses, lifetime monthly residual income, recruiting and leadership team overrides, and referral income. Exact payout rules are role specific and are reviewed during the evaluation and onboarding process.

Certain recruiting and leadership roles can earn eligible overrides on commissions, bonuses and residual income generated by the people they recruit, support or manage. Those overrides are tied to actual team business activity and the applicable compensation plan. They do not require candidates or contractors to pay money, buy inventory or purchase products in order to participate.

Residual income is recurring compensation tied to ongoing business generated through your activity, subject to the terms of the applicable compensation agreement and the continued activity or participation of the underlying merchant or account. It is designed to reward business that continues producing over time rather than paying only once.

It gives VMS another way to help merchants. A business that prefers Square does not automatically need to be moved away from it. VMS can help merchants access Square payment processing and POS solutions while adding the guidance, relationship and support of working with VMS. This gives contractors another solution to discuss when Square is the right fit for the merchant.

It is an additional VMS program designed to give qualifying merchants another way to explore potential savings on the cost of accepting cards. Depending on eligibility and the merchant's situation, the conversation may not require changing the merchant's existing processor, equipment or POS system. Program details and training are provided to VMS contractors as appropriate for their role.

If you are still deciding whether the opportunity is worth exploring, start with the 10-minute overview video. If you want the deeper explanation, want to compare roles or have questions, attend one live orientation or watch the detailed orientation recording on the same video page. There is no cost or obligation to attend.

You choose the role you want to pursue, review and complete the applicable independent contractor agreement and onboarding information, receive your role-specific resources, complete training and then begin real production activity with VMS support. There is no onboarding or training fee.

Training is provided at no charge and begins with role fundamentals before moving into scripts, tools, process, practice and launch. VMS also provides ongoing live training, Q&A, coaching and resource libraries so development continues after onboarding.

Candidates who have completed their evaluation, selected a role and finished the required onboarding and training steps can begin quickly. The exact timeline depends on the role and how quickly you complete the setup process.

Not every role is traditional sales. Sales Agents and Regional Sales Managers sell directly. Lead Generators create merchant interest and opportunities. Recruiters focus on candidates. Affiliate Partners primarily make introductions. Every role, however, requires communication, follow-up and some form of relationship building.
