Merchant
Accounts for E-commerce Websites
Accepting credit cards and processing orders
online is a great way to grow a business, or build a business.
In order to accept credit cards you will need an online merchant
account. This account will be linked to your bank account and
will deposit the money from the credit card transactions. Your
merchant account also provides security for your transactions
and offers many fraud detection services.
Which Merchant Account Is Best For You
There are many merchant account providers, some
you may already be familiar with. PayPal® is one provider
that we suggest using in some cases, but due to the nature of
PayPa®l
it is often linked to auction websites and less professional
businesses. PayPal® will direct your user to their website
to complete the order process, while other merchant accounts
can be integrated directly into your website.
Authorize.net is a leader merchant account provider
for online businesses and will allow you to
process Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express through
your website. Our system will automatically complete orders and
notify the buyer that their order has been completed when using
Authorize.net.
