Understand Your Business
When you sit down to begin designing your online payment solution to accept credit & debit cards, it’s important to fully understand your business model. The design of your Online Merchant Account should reflect the needs and character of your retail or online enterprise.
Prior to the consultation, it’s a good idea to do a little research and compile some statistics. We will always keep these things in mind as we design the solution that is right for you.
What is the total dollar value of the average purchase made by your customers? What is your typical monthly transaction volume? What business bank account do you want your funds deposited into? What is the most commonly used payment solution, debit or credit? If the latter, then which credit cards are the most commonly used? Do you need to accept mobile payments? Do you have a website and need a shopping cart? Are you in need of accepting recurring payments? How to avoid additional fees when processing payments?
Answering these questions determines whether you should choose a third party service aggregator or a merchant account provider. If the latter, having this information at your fingertips will help them develop an Online Merchant Account to suit your needs.
Finding the Right Provider
The world of online payment processing is no different from any other industry. There are multiple players, each offering a unique combination of products and services to would-be customers. When dealing with online merchant accounts in general, make sure to work with reputable web design card processing companies that are familiar with your business model.
In addition to researching your own business needs, we urge you to learn about the online payment industry in general. Reputable providers will not shy away from providing references. They are prepared to explain what makes their operation a compelling choice.

Fees and Fine Print
Online merchant service providers make their money from service fees and transaction fees. Be alert to this when choosing a solutions provider. Be sure to ask for a schedule of fees and services offered.
We urge customers to be alert to deals that are “too good to be true.” Online fees differ from traditional retail merchant accounts. Make sure that the rates and fees you are being quoted apply to online transactions (a.k.a., a "card not present" environment).
