1st Merchant Account

It is very hard to find the right company that will give customers all the services they will need in one neat package from one single source (i.e. not just a merchant account, but also a secure server to process the cards over the Internet, a proper shopping cart, a specific processing software, a real-time gateway for transaction processing, etc.). Usually customers have to get a merchant account from one company, shopping cart from another one, a secure server and real-time gateway transaction processing from third one.

The perfect system for your merchant account has to include everything you need to have to be able to accept credit cards at your website. In detail a good e-commerce solution consists of:

1. Merchant Account
Ad-hoc merchant account suitable for Internet transactions (not all the merchant accounts are compatible with internet business requirements) that allow you to accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.

2. Real-time transactions software
Fully automated real-time transactions software that handles all the hassles for you.

3. Gateway
Special gateway with real-time processing capabilities.

4. Shopping Cart
... if you really need one.

An e-commerce solution as described above is less expensive than what most people charge just for the merchant account without any of the secure server access, real-time processing gateway, shopping carts, etc. As a matter of fact without a secure server your E-Commerce system is not complete and practically 0% of your customers will feel confident to buy from you. Nowadays there are many companies who provide a merchant account but few are able to provide you with a turnkey merchant account / e-commerce package.

Having a proper merchant account package is essential for your business. The ability to accept credit cards online gives you several advantages. Statistics show that more than 80% of internet customers pay by credit card. So no questions about it. When you have a merchant account and the ability to process credit cards easily and professionally your customers perceive you to be a reliable business and they trust you even more. No fax processing, no live operators, no 800 numbers, no post offices and bank delays. A merchant account means "Real-time-money" that is automatically wired to your bank account and it is available within 48 hours. With a merchant account you earn money while you sleep, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Everything is automatic and hands-free.
