A Fast-Growing Payroc Widens Its Offering for Service Businesses

Payroc LLC on Thursday announced its latest move in its expansion into service businesses. The Tinley Park, Ill.-based company said it is widening the capabilities of Roc Services with what it says is expanded scheduling utility and wider flexibility for pricing.

Introduced in July last year, Roc Services allows business owners to perform cataloging, item entry, and invoicing through a mobile app or on a desktop computer. The technology can schedule appointments, send invoices, and collect payments in the field or in offices, Payroc says. Targeted industries include home repair, landscaping, accounting, and other professional services.

The latest enhancements, which Payroc says are based on client experience so far, are meant to appeal to a wider market while adding to Roc Services’ original capabilities. “This launch represents an exciting next chapter for Roc Services,” said James Derby, an executive vice president for merchant product at Payroc, in a statement.  “Every enhancement we’ve delivered was driven by feedback from our merchants and sales partners.”

Payroc says the service now supports surcharging and a dual-pricing model that can help merchants cut or possibly eliminate processing costs. The list of new enhancements now also includes a function that can remove tax at item and order level, as well as support for Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Founded in 2003, Payroc has grown fast. In 2024, the company ranked as the 20^th largest acquirer by payments volume, with an estimated $91.7 billion on 741.7 million transactions processed for nearly 139,000 merchants, according to rankings by the consulting firm TSG.

In one of its biggest moves so far, the company in July agreed to acquire BlueSnap Inc., an acquirer with seven offices around the world. The deal brings to Payroc the capability to sell in more than 200 global regions, with local card acquiring in 50 countries, a BlueSnap spokesperson said at the time the deal was announced.
