What Are Merchant Accounts and Why
Should You Want One?
Scenario
You've decided to get yourself into business on the Web, or you're an
established company who wants to sell goods and services on-line. While browsing
around your favorite sites, you've noticed a plethora of adverts which grab your
attention. "Take Credit Cards Now", they scream, "0% Commission!".
Fighting your way through the jungle of e-commerce hype can be difficult, but we
want to make it simple for you. You need a merchant account? You want to sell
on-line? Let us help you find some answers to those nagging questions.
Credit Cards? Who cares?
Your customers are all using credit cards to make purchases on the Web already,
so don't ignore the demographics!
Retailers refusing to enter the e-commerce arena are probably digging themselves
an early grave. You know you want to make money using the Internet, especially
if you already have an existing site promoting your business. Take it a step
further, and actually sell your products online.
You're worried about the cost? It's significantly cheaper than opening a new
shop!
What is a Merchant Account?
A Merchant Account involves a special type of arrangement with a bank or
clearing house that allows you to accept credit card payments into a special
bank account (your "Merchant Account"). The results of any credit card
transactions passed through your online authorization company are then,
hopefully, credited to your account if the transaction is approved.
Why use a Merchant Account?
Having a Merchant Account is the most cost effective way of accepting payment by
credit card. It's not the only way, as will be discussed in our Doing It Without
A Merchant section. But, put simply, once you have a merchant account (and a
company who will authorize the payments online), you will be able to accept
credit card numbers on your site, and then receive any payments due to you. It's
as simple as that.
