Merchant Services Directory 1 If you are thinking about starting up a business, then you will want to consider signing on with a merchant service. Merchant services give a small business the ability to accept credit cards and do business with anyone that they desire. If you plan on having a website, you will defiantly want to look into getting a merchant service. It is important to analyze your business prior to signing up for a service. You want to take into account the number of transactions and fees every month. A merchant service is basically a company that gives you an infrastructure to take credit card payments. Many will also offer a refund program, along with cash back options. They may also have a shipping portal. You can choose to go with a major merchant service like American Express, or find a smaller company. The choice is up to you. Just make sure to review all of the features of the merchant service, and find the best one for your particular business needs. When choosing a merchant service, there are many questions that you need to consider. The following is a list of the most commonly asked questions: Reputable company- how long has the company been in business? Do they work with other companies in your industry? Do they have business references? Monthly costs- many merchant services will require a monthly fee. This will remain constant no matter what type of traffic you have. Transaction costs- your merchant service will probably charge you per transaction. This is important to factor into your overall pricing structure. Customer service level/turnaround time- you want to find out how long it takes to get refunds and get a response. A good company will have a 800 number, along with an email address. With a little bit of time and research, you should be able to find a merchant service that fits your needs and budget.
