Below are things to consider when choosing to open a merchant account for your business and to be able to process credit cards for your business.
Face to Face
Great for point-of-sale locations and any business that does primarily face to face sales. If the majority of your business is done face-to-face with your customer — such as a retail store-front, professional office, or other point-of-sale location — a terminal is the best way to process your credit and debit card sales. Simply swipe your customer's card through the terminal, and the terminal does the rest of the work: dialing the processor, authorizing the charge amount, and processing the sale.
Internet Processing
Great for point-of-sale locations and any business that does primarily face to face sales. If you do business on the Internet you need a secure, cost-effective, and reliable way to collect payments and process transactions.
Phone, Fax and Mail Order
Ideal for any business whose customers are not present when their sales are processed. Great for catalog, home-based businesses, and inbound and outbound telesales, anytime your customer is not present when you process the sale. In these "card-not-present"
Are you thinking about accepting credit cards? Consider this, almost two-thirds of the nations transactions will be made using credit, debit and electronic payments — well over $1 Trillion. Offering customers the option of paying with credit is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. Needless to say, selecting the right credit card processor is crucial. So, whom should you trust?
