These days most consumers prefer to shop using their credit\/debit cards, if a merchant accepts credit cards payment, the sales could increase from 15% to 100% depending on the type of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advantages of accepting credit card payments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Many customers will buy from a merchant that offers payment by credit card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accepting credit cards levels the playing field with larger retailers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customers feel secure in using their credit cards. If the service or product is faulty, the use of a credit card allows customers to dispute a charge that protects them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making it easy for your customer to pay you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, most small business owners online do not need any merchant account. There are already options for them in third-party payment processors such as Click Bank, PayPal, and e-junkie. You can use these third-party payment processors that function as go-betweens. All you must do is get registered with these companies and once people buy your products or services, they help you collect your money for a percentage of the total sale. The range of charges collected most times is often between 0.04% and 10%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A merchant account allows businessmen to accept credit card payments.
