ECommerce Merchant Accounts, Internet Merchant Account Services

What is a merchant account and why do you need it? Simply put, merchant accounts allow your business to accept credit cards as payment in person, over the telephone, by mail order, or over the Internet. You must have a merchant account if you want to be able to accept credit cards from your customers.

Did you know that when you accept credit cards online, you can expect your sales to increase by an astounding 50 to 400 percent? If you operate a retail location a merchant account is simply a must. You just can't compete if you don't accept credit cards. NetIDNow and Total Merchant Services (TMS), are working together to provide our customers with affordable merchant accounts and a comprehensive line of payment solutions for all types of business. These include retail storefronts, restaurants, hotels, service companies, wireless merchants and mail, telephone or internet order business.

If you are trying to build an online store or and Ecommerce shopping cart and want to process credit cards for Internet, telephone, or mail order transactions, you'll need a special merchant account specifically designed for that purpose. Because you never take physical possession of a credit card so that you can swipe it through a magnetic strip reader, both Visa and Mastercard use different criteria for evaluating risk and have different fee structures for card-not-present transactions. Total Merchant Services can help you easily establish such merchant accounts and the entire process will take just minutes of your time and you'll be up and running in a matter of days.
