Have you ever wondered how merchant accounts work? Have you been thinking about getting one, but aren’t sure where to start? Or how to evaluate what company to choose?
Check out the video replay to find out.
What is a Merchant Account?
Merchant accounts make it possible for a small business to accept payments via credit card. And the more methods you accept, the higher your sales can be.
A merchant account can also handle recurring payments for subscriptions. Read their post How to Choose a Merchant Service Provider to find out more.
How Do Merchant Accounts Work?
Basically, a merchant account accepts money from a credit card company and puts it into your business bank account.
The main thing to know about merchant accounts is that they can be tricky to understand. Business owners really need to read the fine print.
There is often some tricky language. Merchant account providers have ways to charge you far more than you expected!
