Getting a Merchant Account
![*]() If you are currently in
business and have bank accounts, then you need to go to your
bank and ask for
Merchant Accounts. Merchant Accounts will
enable you to accept credit cards.
Your bank may want to know the nature of your credit card
transactions, and you can feel free in telling them that you
will be using the Secure Payment system. While you are waiting
for your Merchant Accounts to be activated, you can proceed
through the next steps.
In order to do secured transactions online, you will need
a SSL Certificate. Your ISP or Web Host may have these available
to you, and if they do not, then you can purchase one. Integrate
your Shopping Cart/Accounting program into your web site.
You will need to talk to your Web Host or Web designer in
order to get this step correctly prepared. If you would like
to use our Shopping Cart, try the demonstration of how this
works.
If you will only doing telephone payments, then this step
is not necessary, because you will simply use our Credit Card
Transaction Interface page to process your payments. An online
credit card processor will supply this Interface to you that
you will call-up straight from your desktop when someone calls
you with a payment.
Once you have your Merchant Account Numbers from your bank,
select the Secure Package best suited for your needs. From
this point, the credit card processor will set up your credit
card processing. Within the week you can be fully operational
and transacting credit cards online in RealTime.
