Merchant Accounts


Any business that sells a product or service, whether over the internet or no, has to qualify with a financial institution before being able to take credit cards. Larger companies use merchant accounts to enable them to take money over the web through secure transactions. For this service they have to pay a fee to start the service and a monthly fee. In addition, they have to have the backend services that support shopping carts and secure transactions.

An alternative is to use a 3rd party merchant and pay a percentage on each transaction. To read more about this and other 3rd party merchants, click here.
