Merchants

The federal government prefers to use GSA SmartPay® solutions to pay merchants.

Merchants, please note that:

  • If a merchant currently accepts Visa, Mastercard, Voyager and/or Wright Express (WEX), they are already set up to accept GSA SmartPay cards/accounts.
  • If a merchant does not currently accept charge cards, they may consider contacting their financial institution to discuss accepting charge cards.
  • The transaction fees negotiated with the bank to accept cards from the private sector will also apply to government purchases.

For more information on how to recognize GSA SmartPay card/account types and business lines, please view the SmartTax Merchant Guide.

For common merchant questions about the GSA SmartPay program, please visit the FAQs section of this website or contact the GSA Center for Charge Card Management (CCCM) at gsa_smartpay@gsa.gov.
