Saint Lucia

Help eligible Saint Lucia businesses arrange card and online payment facilities through suitable third-party providers.

Saint Lucia has genuine merchant services for businesses accepting card payments in shops, on the move and through digital channels.

Current local services include point-of-sale, wireless acceptance and smartphone-based contactless payment options for eligible merchants.

For businesses taking card payments

For an application in Saint Lucia, merchant facilities can support shops, restaurants, tourism businesses, professional firms and online sellers, depending on the provider.

The appropriate setup depends on whether customers pay in person, online or through both channels.

What the provider will consider

For an application in Saint Lucia, the provider can ask about products, expected turnover, average transaction values, refunds and customer locations.

Online merchants may also need a suitable website, trading terms and fulfilment information.

Choose the facility around the business

Point-of-sale terminals, mobile acceptance and e-commerce gateways solve different payment needs.

We help explain the trading model accurately so the provider can assess the right facility.
