What are Merchant Services?
A merchant service provides business level accounts to merchants for collecting payments from consumer bank or credit card accounts. If you’re selling products from a retail location, you will need a Card Present (CP) merchant account. However, to sell from your Web site, you’ll also need a Card Not Present (CNP) merchant account. A CNP account is used by merchants that receive payments via the Internet or in situations when a payment is not physically presented to the merchant by the consumer at the time of the transaction (e.g. telephone orders). In the payments industry, Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), Merchant Services Providers (MSPs), and Value-Add Resellers (VARs) are most often the organizations that provide merchant accounts. The Authorize.Net Reseller Directory located at http://www. authorize.net/resellerdirectory lists numerous such companies. You can also contact your current banking partner to find out if they provide CNP merchant accounts.

Forced Leases Many merchant processors also require you to sign a multi-year equipment lease. You could end up paying over $1,000 for a terminal — and still not own it at the end of the lease period! With QuickBooks POS Merchant Service, all you need is a card reader, already included in the QuickBooks POS hardware bundle. |
