If you operate a website selling products or offering services and you require payments from your customers and it involves a variety of task and activities such as paying bills or purchasing products then you will need an internet ecommerce merchant account to run a successful online business. In the past these things were not very affordable for small businesses or entrepreneurs who simply wanted to start an online business to sell to the public. Just designing a website alone would run several thousands of dollars and not to even make mention of the ecommerce shopping cart software which would cost thousands of dollars each year in license fees. Nowadays, all of this is affordable. You can have a complete ecommerce website for a few hundred dollars and you can have a full internet operation running in just days. The fees associated with credit card processing for websites are basically still the same, in some instances they have done up. But we provide low rates that makes processing payments online affordable. Offering your customers a way to make payments online to purchase goods and services is a convenient way for them to stay at home or at work and do business with you.
If you have a user friendly shopping cart software that allows for them to view products, compare different items, and the specification before they purchase, this makes their lives much easier and this allows for you to close more sales. It is very hard for small businesses not to have a web presence event if it is a retail store.
If you have a great looking web site and you are not making any money from it then it is completely useless. That is why we are here to help you get setup with a merchant account so you can start accepting credit cards over the internet or on the phone for those customers who would rather call you to place an order over the phone instead of the internet. If you are not accepting payments on your website you are missing out. You can double or triple your income by adding electronic payments. To operate a success ecommerce store requires more than just a good looking website. You need to have a great backend system to manage inventory, you need a great server with reliable high speed that will not slow down when your traffic peaks, and most importantly you need a great merchant services company that will be there to help assist you in the setup and integration work. We also make sure that the server you are on meets the latest security standards so personal information is not stolen when data is being sent.
In reality, if you run a successful ecommerce website you can be making money while you sleep because the internet is open 24 hours a day. You can tap into internet customers who will be able to pay you from overseas. Our system can remind you of new orders that come in even if you are not on the computer by sending you the order details to your mobile device.
So before you begin accepting payments online, fill out our application and we will get you approved for a merchant account. The account is a conduit between your POS software and the bankcard network such as Visa, Discover, American Express and MasterCard. Our relationship with these companies allows us to provide PCI compliant platform.
