Merchant
Account Processors
Internet Merchant account processing services are provided by
a bank or a third party processor to the merchant. These services
include authorization of credit cards, settlement of funds through
the bankcard associations ( MasterCard, Visa, etc.), depositing
of funds into checking accounts, merchant billing, and account
activity reporting.
The one we recommend
for you will depend on your particular business model. That most
merchant providers do not accept certain types of high risk businesses,
such as online gambling, betting, porn, or sales of addictive
substances. However, we have relationships with several merchant
processors, so if one particular processor does not accept your
business model, then we have others who may, although the set
up and processing costs may be slightly higher for high risk credit
card processing.
The merchant processing
service functions under the SSL ( Secure Socket Layer ) system
which codifies the information and this security system is one
of the most advanced in the market today. It consists of one secure
connection between the merchant and the processor, which guarantees
that the information is never lost or reproduced to other parties.
For additional security
the Merchant Processor requires that you obtain a digital commercial
security certificate for your website forms.
