Processing credit cards for small business
eherland on Dec 30th 2009
A problem many small businesses have, home-based, Internet, mail-order, a like, is finding a bank or financial institution that will process their credit card orders. For starters, there are not many banks that offer merchant accounts to small businesses. Merchant accounts are also expensive to set up, with the bank usually charging you a one time set up fee, in addition to the costs you will have configuring and programming a gateway (where the actual order is placed). Setting up credit card processing for small businesses with a merchant account is simply to much hassle.
3. party processing account
Skipping all the other arguments against a merchant account for a small business, if you can even get one, we have the third party credit card processing accounts. A third part processing account is, in simple terms, an account supplied by a company that let’s you use their merchant account. In reality, companies that offer these products are highly specialized, often focusing solely on providing their customers with credit card processing facilities. This includes back-end services like online account statements, statistics, refund options, etc, and on the front-end they usually offer a configurable payment gateway that you can brand to your liking, or a payment interface that you can plug in to.
Business credit card processing has never been easier with 3. party processing accounts.
