Question from Reddit user:
I just opened a business bank account with Chase, and I’m interested in their Point of Sale system bc the fees are much lower than Stripe.
Is it possible to integrate into a GoHighLevel online store?
Answer from Nabil:
The short answer is:
No, GoHighLevel does not offer a native, direct integration with the Chase Point of Sale (POS) system for online store checkouts, as it primarily supports Stripe, NMI, Authorize.net, and Square for payments.
However, since your goal is to leverage Chase’s lower fees for your online store, you can achieve this by building a custom integration that connects the GoHighLevel online store front-end to Chase’s payment processing backend.
This process involves using the custom payment provider option within GoHighLevel and building the necessary bridge using the HighLevel API and the Chase POS API.
The long answer is:
Your desire to use Chase’s lower processing fees is a smart business move, but GoHighLevel’s native payment integrations are currently limited to a few providers, and Chase POS is not one of them for online checkout functionality.
GoHighLevel provides a solution for exactly this scenario through its ability to integrate with a custom payment provider.
This advanced integration is a two-part technical project.
The first part is setting up GoHighLevel’s custom payment provider option.
This essentially tells your GoHighLevel online store’s checkout page to send the transaction details (product, price, customer info) to an external system you control, instead of a native provider like Stripe.
The second and more complex part is building that external system, which serves as the secure communication bridge between GoHighLevel and Chase.
This is where the HighLevel API and the Chase POS API come in.
You would use a cloud environment, such as Google Cloud Platform (or an equivalent serverless architecture managed by a service like Stape), to host a custom application.
This custom application would receive the payment initiation data from the GoHighLevel online store, use the HighLevel API to retrieve any necessary contact or order details, and then use the Chase POS API to process the charge securely.
Once the Chase POS API confirms the payment is successful, your custom application uses the HighLevel API again to notify GoHighLevel of the successful transaction, which triggers your marketing automation workflows and updates the order status in your system.
While this requires a development effort, integrating the HighLevel API with the Chase POS API via a managed server environment is the most robust and compliant solution to use Chase’s lower fees for your GoHighLevel online store.
You can also use Google Tag Manager on the checkout pages to enhance the customer experience or track the payment flow, although the core payment logic must reside on a secure server due to Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance rules.
