First Things First
In order to sell online, you have to have a web site, and your site needs to have an e commerce shopping cart and compatible point of sale software. Merchant Partners makes it easy to get your online business started right with our web site services. Choose from a simple brochure web site to a complete ecommerce web site.

Next Steps
While you may think you are set with your web site and shopping cart, you are not yet ready to sell online. Your customers cannot buy anything—that is, you cannot accept payment from them—until you set up an ecommerce merchant account and have a payment processing system in place. Merchant Partners specializes in gateway and merchant services, providing you with exactly the things your ecommerce storefront still needs.

Credit card companies like Visa and MasterCard require all businesses that want to accept credit card payments online to obtain a merchant account. Merchant Partners acts as a merchant account provider, helping you obtain an account from a financial institution and integrating the account into your payment gateway.

Merchant Partners' payment processing solutions cover all the possible methods of electronic payment you may choose to accept including

• Check processing
• Credit card processing
• PIN debit card processing
• Wireless credit card processing and more

With these things in place, you are now prepared to sell online. For additional information on any of Merchant Partners' business financing services, complete the quick contact form on the left side of this screen or call (866) 783-0809 to speak with a sales representative.
