    Why Have A Credit Card Merchant Account? - Presentation Transcript

    1. Why Have A Credit Card Merchant Account? In order to be successful in today's businesses, you must keep up with the times. More and more consumers prefer using different forms of payment than the conventional cash method. So, if you're asking yourself why have a credit card merchant account, the answer is clear -- more sales because it offers your consumers convenience and peace of mind. In the United States, 50% plus of all purchases and transactions are completed by some form of electronic transaction. The business that does not offer his consumer this easy form of purchase is usually left out in the cold. More often than not, the consumer will go to a business that does provide electronic transactions and that is why it is extremely necessary for the modern business owner to know how to satisfy his customers. Because credit cards allow the consumer to buy now and pay later, they have more purchasing power. And, the merchant never loses a sale and receives payment, almost to the day for that transaction. The payment processing works seamlessly and quickly. All that is required is the customer's credit card is swiped through the point-of-sale transaction terminal, which is known as POS. This machinery is usually given to the merchant by the provider that they elect. From here, an authorization is made through an electronic request via the POS. An authorization code is thereby even if there are funds available in the account of the credit card holder. This authorization is what guarantees the merchant payment. Finally, a printed receipt is extracted that requires customer signature. At the end of every business day, the merchant should request that the batch be closed. This will sum up all of that business days transactions. At this point, all the sales for that day will be electronically submitted into the merchant's bank account, which typically takes about two days. Before the monetary amount is deposited into the merchant's account, the provider will deduct any fees for rates and services. With regards to an online business, a specialized software is required because the transaction is not a physical one. This software, be it "Shopping Cart" or "Payment Gateway" enables that the transaction to be completed by processing the credit card information. One service provider can differ greatly from another. Shop around to find the best service with the best pricing. Logically speaking, the ideal place to start would be with the bank that you do business with since there already is a relationship that exists.
