Getting a Merchant Account
Getting a merchant account
is easy! If you are currently doing a business and have
bank accounts, then you need to go to your bank and ask
for Merchant Accounts.
Your bank may want to know the nature of your credit card
transactions, and you can feel free in telling them that
you will be using the Secure Payment Gateway system. While
you are waiting for your Merchant Accounts to be activated,
you can proceed through the next steps.
You need a SSL certificate for doing secured transactions
online. These may be available to you with your ISP or
Web Host, and if they do not, then you can purchase one.
Integrate your Shopping Cart/Accounting program into your
web site. You will need to talk to your Web Host or Web
designer in order to get this step correctly prepared.
If you will only be doing telephone payments, then this
step is not necessary, because you will simply use Credit
Card Transaction Interface page to process your payments.
An online credit card processor will supply this Interface
to you that you will call-up straight from your desktop
when someone calls you with a payment.
Once you have your Merchant Account Numbers from your
bank, you have to select the Secure Package best suited
for your needs. From here, the credit card processor will
set up your credit card processing. Within the week you
can be transacting credit cards online in RealTime.
