Merchant Accounts
When getting set-up to accept card payments you will need a merchant account. A Merchant account is like a bank account used exclusively for card transaction payments. When choosing to accept card payments you will need this merchant account to receive your funds. This can be arranged through your merchant services provider, who normally will also provide you with the technology you may need to accept card payments.
When a customer wishes to pay via card, and the transaction is approved, the funds are transferred to your merchant account. The merchant account provider usually charges a percentage per transaction and will also have a standard set-up fee along with a monthly fee. One thing to look out for when signing up with a merchant account provider is to check whether they tie you into a long contract. You will also need to find out about how secure your provider is, and should to become PCI compliant in order to accept card transactions into your merchant account with minimal risk of fraud.
