E-Commerce Merchant Account
Welcome back!
Payment Gateways & Shopping Carts
Merchants selling products online need an E-Commerce Merchant Account to process credit card transactions from theirr website. Customers can use a Buy-It-Now button taking them to a payment platform to check-out or you can add a complete shopping cart allowing customers to add multiple products into the shopping cart, before check-out. Buy-It-Now would be the simplest check-out.
Shopping carts can very in scope with many different options. We offer a free shopping cart with simple instalation and can be upgraded with options as needed. The problem with connecting your shopping cart with your merchant account, is that not all shopping carts are compatable with the different payment gateways offered today.
Payment Gateways are the secure connection between your ecommerce merchant account and your shopping cart. This is where your customers credit card data is securely transmitted to your merchant account from your website. We offer multple gateway platforms, such as Authorize.Net Gateway, Eprocessing Network’s Gateway, and the LinkPoint Gateway. These are the major gateways and your shopping cart should be compatible with at least one of these secure payment gateways.
Merchant account approval is necessary processing your customers credit card transaction. The data is transmitted via secure payment gateway, from your shopping cart or buy-it-now button, to your merchant account. Merchant account approval’s can also vary from different providers, as ecommerce transcations are of “Higher Risk”, than a brick and morter transaction.
We specialize in E-Commerce Merchant Accounts and also can approve some High Risk Merchant Accounts, as well. We also do alot of High Volume Merchant Accounts, as well. If your website is new with very little traffic and sales you may want to consider Google Checkout, as an alternative untill your website begans to be profitable. Google Checkout offers a simple solution and is affordable. If you advertise with Google Adwords, they even offer you a discount on credit card processing with Google Checkout. A simple solution for new websites.
