This section provides detailed information about merchant accounts and merchant services on topics such as debit and online debit card processing. There are two basic fees that collectively, make up the vast majority of the cost of a merchant account. In the credit card processing industry, these costs are referred to as “Interchange and Assessments,” and they are charged by bank card networks like Visa® and MasterCard® every time a merchant accepts one of their cards for purchases. Consumers want to use their credit cards for virtually every purchase. In fact, customers are starting to expect all businesses to accept credit cards regardless of the sale amount. Is your business losing out on potential sales? If you don’t have a merchant account, you probably are…. Paper, or Plastic? These days, consumers prefer plastic. So fulfill your customer’s demand, and replace those old-fashioned, paper gift certificates with plastic gift cards today! The definition of a chargeback is when a cardholder disputes a charge posted to their credit card account. Chargebacks can occur for various reasons, such as when a purchase was not authorized by the cardholder (fraud), or when goods or services are not provided as expected. Merchant account statements can sometimes be confusing, especially for new merchants. Generally, questions and concerns pertain to the charging of monthly fees and the timing of account statements, so we hope that this article will help to explain some of these confusing aspects. |
