New Merchant Account
Are you looking for a new merchant account?
Whether you are ready to accept credit cards for the first time, or you are looking to get a better deal for your business, there are a couple of things you’ll need to keep in mind.
For starters, there is more to your overall processing rates and fees will be than a single “rate.”
How to Find the Best Merchant Account…
All merchant account fees are based on three factors.
Regardless of what you may have heard, the three factors outlined below are the ONLY factors that affect what you will pay to accept credit cards.
They are:
- How you accept credit cards (i.e. face to face, online, over the phone)
- The TYPE of card your customer uses (i.e. qualified debit, rewards card, corporate card)
- Your business classification (i.e. hotel, pay at pump, retail, supermarket)
Next, you’ll need to consider credit card processing equipment (for a retail merchant account) or gateway and shopping cart integration (for online merchant accounts).
Points to keep in mind for retail based businesses are:
- Whether to buy or lease a credit card terminal
- If a POS system or electronic cash-register with integrated credit card processing makes sense
- The need for equipment upgrades down the road
- Customer support availability
For online merchant accounts, the two biggest factors to consider are:
- Gateway & shopping cart integration
- Credit card processing security such as a SSL certificate for your website, PCI compliance & fraud prevention measures
