Merchant Accounts with CommerceTechnologies
Posted by Elmer Saenz & Patrick Zydziak on 1st Apr 2021
A Merchant Account is a service that’s required for any business to accept credit or debit cards from their customers. With this service credit card transactions are sent electronically to merchant processing banks for authorization, capture, and deposit. Through a merchant account, you can also accept physical and electronic checks, sell and accept gift cards, utilize loyalty programs, apply for a cash advance or business loan, and use payroll services.
Various methods exist for presenting a credit card sale to the processor. In all circumstances either the entire magnetic strip is read by a swipe through a credit card terminal/reader or the credit card information is manually entered into a credit card terminal, a computer/mobile phone, or website. There are also credit cards that have built-in sim chips so that the merchants can now process by just bringing the cards close to or inserting them into the EMV compliant contactless equipment. We will help you get set up quickly and securely regardless of how you want to accept payments. You can now accept Visa, Master, Discover, Amex, JCB, Diners Club, Carte Blanche, China UnionPay, DinaCard and PayPal Transactions and review all these transactions in one easy monthly statement.
