INTRADUCTION Setting up a merchant account is very important and usually it’s not that hard to do it either. What makes a merchant account great is the fact that it allows your company to accept both credit and debit card payments. Usually you will need to have either an agreement with the bank that they process credit card payments or you can work with an independent sales organization, MSP and so on. Either solution works as long as you collaborate with a dedicated financial institution and have a designated point of sale system.


CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS Collecting payments through cards has grown as one of the essential part of the business. As today people prefer to pay through their cards that are, purchasing product or services through their account directly. For this the businesses who are practicing the traditional way of business are rapidly changing their working or the start-up businesses who want to have a credit card payment accepting merchant account, needs to deal with a lot of paper work for the approval of a merchant account that is specially dedicated to collect payments through cards.


MERCHANT PAYMENT PROCESSING The decision to sell products online means learning new terminology, processes and technology, plus the upside and downside of running an eCommerce business. One of the first things to develop is an intimate knowledge of the credit card processing system and transaction dispute resolution.


HOW DO I SET UP A MERCHANT ACCOUNT The first thing you have to do is to determine the way credit card payments will work for your company. This means that you need to figure out the type of credit card payments that you want to accept and how you accept those payments. You need to see if you accept website payments, if you want to use a POS solution or mobile payments. You will also have to think about the amount that you get from credit card sales to begin with.

Aside from that, when you create a new merchant account you will need to think about the merchant payment processing and you will also have to make a comparison between all the services offered to you. This way you will be able to see which one actually delivers the best value for your money, so you should consider that as fast as possible. Each merchant account provider has a flat rate that will be charged each time a payment is processed or it might have a percentage fee based on the total transaction amount.

Sometimes you will see that merchant provider options will have software and payment acceptance solutions. Of course, if you do opt for these merchant services you still need to have something that allows you to be in control. It might be challenging at first, but results will end up paying off quite a bit which is exactly what you want to focus on here. Having control over the way your customers pay is very important so try to keep that in mind.


OFFSHORE ACCOUNT PROVIDER Some of the merchants will set up your account and they will just require you to undergo a credit check and offer a personal guarantee. The application process might take some time though. Once that is done, the setup process will be completed and results will be impressive for sure. What you will like here is the fact that the process is seamless, once you apply for the merchant account, the provider will take care of everything. If you want to skip on some taxes or just want to deal with companies outside your country, you can work with an offshore account provider.
