Flux works with high-risk and specialty merchants like tax relief services, with cards, ACH, and stablecoins through one integration and a real team that reviews the account rather than an automated no.

How tax relief services get paid
Tax Relief Services often need more than one rail, cards for reach, ACH for larger amounts, and stablecoins where it fits, and Flux runs all three through one integration.
A typical Flux setup for tax relief services
Tax relief money arrives in two pieces: a smaller investigation fee when the client signs, then a resolution fee that usually runs four or five figures and gets split into monthly installments while the case works. The investigation fee typically lands on a card through hosted fields on your intake flow, and installment plans run on scheduled ACH debits because a bank debit outlives the card reissues that happen across a long case.
Demand is seasonal in a way most services are not: intake spikes after filing deadlines and after IRS notice batches hit mailboxes, then cases resolve on the agency's timeline, not yours. The REST API lets you tie each installment to your case management system, so billing pauses when a case pauses. QuickBooks sync keeps fee income mapped to open matters, which your accountant will care about when cases span tax years.
What tax relief services should watch
The dangerous stretch is the middle of a case. An offer in compromise can take many months with little visible motion, and a client six installments deep with no news is a chargeback waiting to happen. Bill against milestones you can document: transcripts pulled, notices answered, filings submitted. Send a short status note before each debit, because the cheapest dispute defense in this industry is a client who already knew what was happening.
If any part of your intake runs through outbound calls, the Telemarketing Sales Rule's advance fee restrictions for debt relief can reach you, so have counsel bless the timing of what you collect and when. Refund terms need the same clarity: define what the investigation fee buys even if you decline the case. Consumers who feel a fee bought nothing dispute it, and vague engagement letters lose those disputes.

Can clients pay a large resolution fee in monthly installments?
Yes, resolution fees can be split into scheduled card charges or ACH debits over the life of the case. ACH is the common choice because it is not interrupted by card expirations during a long engagement.
Can I pause billing if a case stalls at the IRS?
Yes. Installment schedules are controlled through the REST API or dashboard, so you can pause, resume, or restructure a plan when a case timeline changes. Pausing proactively is also good dispute prevention.
What should my engagement letter say about payments?
Spell out the investigation fee, the resolution fee, the installment schedule, and what each covers, including the outcome where you decline the case. Payment disputes in this industry are usually won or lost on the engagement letter.
