Accept Credit Cards
How you can accept credit card payments online and why it's important to do so.
According to an AC Neilsen study, credit cards are still the preferred payment method for online purchases. At 69%, credit cards are preferred by more North Americans than the two runners up—PIN debit cards and PayPal—combined. The numbers confirm that if you don't accept credit card payments online, you're putting your web business at a big disadvantage.
If your business is not already meeting its ecommerce potential, there's no better time to begin than now. Merchant Partners, an industry leader in payment gateway services, can make it possible for you to accept credit card payments through our various credit card services. Contact Merchant Partners today or just keep reading to find out more.
Getting Started with Credit Card Processing
Before you can begin to accept credit card payments, you must first obtain a credit card merchant account. This account acts as the bridge between your credit card machine or website and the credit card processing networks like Visa and MasterCard. These companies require all businesses to establish a merchant account before they will accept credit card processing requests. Because Merchant Partners has an established relationship with all the major credit card companies, obtaining a merchant account is much simpler than it otherwise would be.
