Wave Payments Terms of Service – United States

Wave Payments Terms of Service – United States

Effective as of: June 10, 2024

Hi! Congratulations on being the sort of person who reads Terms of Service. We applaud you. Below, you’ll see the Terms to which you must agree if you’re going to use Wave’s payment services. Our lawyers wrote that, and that’s the stuff that counts. We’ve also provided some plain language wording—how we’d explain it to someone who didn’t have the time to read and digest the whole thing. We hope it helps you make sense of this document so that you can understand what you’re consenting to. Thanks for joining the Wave community.

Fee Disclosure Box:

All rates are in U.S. dollars (USD). The Card Present and Card Not Present rates are the same.
Card Not Present means that the card is not electronically read by an electronic card reader and the card information is manually key entered (ex. online payment). Card Present means that the physical card is read with a point-of-sale terminal.
