Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a Merchant Account?
In order to accept credit cards from your customers, you need to have a Merchant Account.
This is, you need to establish an account with a company who authorizes and processes
credit card transactions.
Why do I need it?
You don't. That is, unless you want to increase your business by a reported 40% over
people who do not take credit cards! A huge number of people today use credit cards to
make purchases because of the convenience and ease of use. Also, you're likely to get a
lot more "impulse" sales if you are able to accept credit cards.
How can I get it?
Through WorldWide Merchandise we've negotiated excellent rates that allow you to obtain a
Merchant Account with a prestigious credit card service company. You'll enjoy dramatic
savings on set-up and processing fees.
How Do I use it?
Using your Merchant Account to accept credit card payment is easy. Once your merchant
Account is setup you will need a way to enter your customer's card information. Many
businesses use hardware card swipe terminals. However, we setup an online Gateway for
Internet merchants.
What is Gateway Access?
Gateway Access is the name for the technology and systems which can automatically process
credit card payments for orders taken over the Internet. Allows you to link your Gateway
directly to your website for automated processing. Your customer's payment is placed into
your bank account within 48 hours. The Gateway also has an online terminal to let you
manually enter credit card numbers from phone or mail in orders.
Ready to take your business to the next level?
The ability to accept credit card payments - whether over the Internet, through mail
order, or wherever you do business, can have a dramatic impact on your revenues. Think
about how often you purchase with your own credit card, and you can see why you would want
to be in a position to capitalize on the buying public's willingness to "pull out the
plastic".
We can increase your profits, by decreasing the amount you
pay your bank each month to accept credit cards. Funds are electronically deposited into
your existing bank account. Plus, we have built in safeguards to elimate processing
errors. All deposits are protected by a FDIC bank.
We understand the importance of your cash flow, and strive
to provide the fastest, most compreshensive, accurate services possible. We are dedicated
to your success. Once your account is setup, you will have a 24 hour, seven days a week,
technical hotline. The Gateway system is state-of-the-art and features fast transaction
automation at the point of sale.
Put our reliability, dedication and advantages to work for
you. Let us help you increase your sales, and increase your profits.
We hope you'll take advantages of these services
when you decide to take your business to the next level of success.
