Which Online Payment Gateway Is Best For You?

Online payment gateways offer you a vast range of choices. The vast range of feature-rich online payment gateways can make the choice seem overwhelming. The key to choosing an online payment gateway is to do your homework. Read a little bit about each gateway you’re considering, and make sure you’re comparing the features that you need for your online payment gateway. Make a list of questions to ask a salesperson.

If you have an IT person who is managing your database and shopping cart, you should involve them in the process. They can review the documentation for the different online payment gateways you’re looking at, and make sure they’re compatible with your shopping cart.

Obviously, shopping cart compatibility is one of the most important factors in selecting the right online payment system.

Fortunately, most gateways are specifically designed to be compatible with most of the commonly-used shopping carts. But you should always double check with a salesperson to make sure they’re offering an online payment gateway that works with your system.

If your shopping cart is one of the typical off-the-shelf varieties, you should choose a gateway that will make everything simple. If you do not have a shopping cart, call us at 866-441-6670 and we can help you find the ideal combination of shopping cart and online payment gateway.

What you’ll typically find is that there may be a broad price range, but most online payment gateways have the same features.

You’re generally best off finding the system that’s going to keep your bookkeeping and other tasks to a minimum, and does everything you need in the shortest amount of time.

Opening a merchant account requires a fairly long list of documents and financial information.  In order to make the creation of new merchant accounts runs as smoothly as possible, we’ve put together this checklist. Make sure you have all these items together when you open your merchant account.

• Driver’s License – In order to verify your identification, you should submit a copy of your driver’s license when you open a merchant account.
• Voided Check – provide a voided check from your business checking account. This should be from the account into which you want the funds deposited when you process credit cards.
• Merchant Account Application – Be sure to fill out all sections of your merchant account application, in order to avoid delays in approving your merchant account.
• Products or Services Information – We need to know what type of business you’re in, how much you charge, and what your typical products are. You should provide a list of the products and services for which you will accept credit card payments, along with the prices for these items. If the prices are customized, you will need to at least provide a general basic price. Provide this information on a separate sheet of paper with your merchant account application. Or you can save time by providing the URL to your web site, if your web sight has this information spelled out in one place.
• Business Financials – If your average ticket or your monthly volume is particularly high, we may need to see the profit & loss statement for your business. The “threshold” for this requirement may vary due to several factors, but it may be, for example, an average ticket of more than $2000 or a monthly volume higher than $100,000.
• Current Processing Statements - If you already have a merchant account or you currently process credit cards through another merchant account service, you can ensure easy approval by including the last three months of processing statements from your current merchant account.
