Accept payments for your monitoring services
Card, Cash App Pay, and bank transfer — processing fees passed to the client so your agency keeps its full price, with funds deposited to your own bank account.
Monitoring agencies collect a lot of small payments from people who often do not have a checking account, a credit card, or a way to get to your office during business hours. That combination pushes agencies toward cash and personal payment apps, which creates its own problems: money sitting in a drawer, transactions with no paper trail, and disputes that can't be resolved because nobody can prove what was received.
Tether Pay solves the collection problem end to end. Every invoice carries a secure hosted checkout that accepts debit and credit cards, Cash App Pay, and bank transfers. Payments are processed through Stripe, funds are deposited into your agency's own bank account, and each transaction is recorded against the right client and invoice with an exact timestamp.
How payment processing works for your agency
The point is not just to take cards. It is to make sure every dollar collected is traceable, matched to a client, and deposited to you without shrinking your program fee.
Card, Cash App Pay, and ACH in one checkout
Clients choose how they want to pay on a mobile-friendly page. Cash App Pay in particular reaches clients who never had a card, and it still reconciles like any other payment.
Processing fees passed to the client
The card processing cost is added at checkout rather than absorbed, so your agency collects the full program fee it charges. Clients see the amount clearly before they pay.
Funds to your own bank account
Payouts go directly to the bank account your agency connects during onboarding. Tether Pay never sits between you and your money.
Automatic reconciliation to invoices
Each payment carries the client and invoice it belongs to, so it posts to the right account the moment it clears — with no end-of-day matching.
Refunds handled in-app
Refund a payment from the client's record when something is charged in error. The refund is issued through the processor and reflected in the ledger.
Security handled by Stripe
Card data never touches your office or your staff. Checkout is hosted and PCI compliance is handled by the processor, which removes a real liability from a small agency.

Why cash costs more than card fees
Agencies that resist card processing usually do it to avoid the percentage. It is worth pricing the alternative honestly. Cash requires someone to be in the office to receive it, a place to keep it, a trip to the bank, and a manual entry that may or may not happen. It produces no evidence, so any dispute becomes one person's word against another's. And it forces clients to travel to you, which by itself causes missed payments from people without reliable transportation.
Passing the processing fee to the client removes the cost objection entirely: the agency collects its full program fee, and the client covers the convenience of paying instantly from their phone at 11pm on a Sunday. Cash App Pay matters more than most agencies expect here, because a meaningful share of monitoring clients use Cash App as their primary financial tool and have no card at all. Routing that through hosted checkout rather than a personal handle means the payment is tracked, receipted, and reconciled instead of vanishing into someone's personal account.
The reconciliation side is where the real time savings show up. When each transaction already knows which client and invoice it belongs to, there is no month-end exercise of matching bank deposits to names. The balance you see is the balance that exists, refunds are traceable, and if a client asks about a payment from three weeks ago you can produce the exact date, time, amount, and reference in seconds.
