Merchant Account Services
Credit Card Processing
Merchant service is a term that refers to the actual software that is associated with charging credit cards. It encompasses not only the merchant account but the integral software as well. Merchant Service includes the retail merchant and the Internet merchant so that whether the sales are face to face or electronic the merchant is able to accept credit cards.
Getting an internet merchant account is the ideal solution to improving your sales, because not only can the customer pay for the goods and services with the credit cards at your retail outlets, but you also provide them with the opportunity of ordering and paying for the goods at a click of a mouse from your website, or even by phone or fax.
Merchant Services are provided for:
• Retail merchant accounts • Face-to-face transactions • Internet merchant accounts • Online merchant accounts • Mail/Phone Order processing • Check Services • Seasonal merchant accounts
In order to sell products on the internet most businesses will need the following:
