How
Merchant Accounts Work
Merchant
accounts are provided by an authorized
credit card processing company,
such as Cardservice International.
Cardservice International provides merchant business owners the
ability to accept credit cards by providing a merchant
id number, which is registered with the Visa/Mastercard
financial network. Merchant Accounts
are assigned an ID Number which identifies the
individual business owner to credit card terminal. Once
assigned, the credit card terminal is programmed as the
credit card acceptance equipment for that particular
business. Similar
to a wireless cell phone, a credit card machine is only
able to operate if it is provided a service provider. A
credit card machine cannot operate on it's own and
accept credit cards unless it is programmed and has a
live merchant account. With
an assigned merchant account id number, your business
may accept non-cash payments like credit cards,
debit cards, checks, gift and loyalty and even food stamp
cards, with a credit card machine. By accepting
non-cash payments, merchants increase their sales
potential as opposed to other business owners who do not
offer consumers purchasing options. How
it works:
Step
1:  A
customer provides your business with a non-cash payment,
such as a credit card, for
a purchase. Step
2.  A
transaction then occurs by either swiping the credit
card or manually entering the credit card information
into the terminal. Step
3. An
electronic transaction occurs through your credit card
terminal which either approves or denies the transaction
payment. If approved, your credit card processing
service will credit and deposit money into your bank
account the amount of the transaction within 2 to 3
days, less any fees (discount rate and transaction fees)
per transaction. How
