Merchant-accounts.com helps to increase your sales by accepting credit cards.


Press Release Body = Are you planning to sell various products on your website? If
yes, you should consider a way in which you can easily various accept credit cards
for every sale. Going for credit card payments not only saves time but also acts as
a boon to the customers sited overseas. After purchasing any product they don't have
to sign a check and post the same to you.

If your website accepts credit cards for any sale then you are provided with various
benefits such as:

. After going through your advertisement on your website, many buyers would be fired
up about your product. If your product matches their needs, they'll be going for an
immediate purchase. This is when your website has to accept credit cards. If you
only allow check payments, half of the buyers will back out. Accepting payments by
check means it takes time for them to get their checkbook and mailing out the check
may be deterrence.

. Accepting credit card payments is the boon for international customers. Credit
card payment is not just tremendously convenient but also saves time. Moreover, it
also takes care of the problems of currency differences. If you only accept check
payment then your overseas customers can suffer huge loss and this will not
encourage them to buy product from your website.

There are various ways to accept credit card payments but among all, only two head
the list. Those are:

1. Creating and Using your own Merchant Account: This is one of the two ways you can
consider if you want to accept credit card payments on your website. To do this, you
need to contact a bank that will allow you to open a merchant account. Ones your
account is opened you can begin with the process to accept credit card payments.

2. Through a Third Party Merchant: The second way out is using a third party
merchant. For making your work easier there are numerous companies around that are
willing to help you to accept credit cards payments on your behalf. In exchange they
usually ask for a fixed fee and percentages of your sales.

If you are confused and don't know which way to choose, prefer the second option. It
has been seen that opening your own merchant account is generally higher than when
you use a third party merchant. Also many third party merchants have no setup fee at
all.

Advanced Merchant Services is there at your service for guiding and helping you out
in this process. Advanced Merchant Services is the one-stop-shop for all your
merchant accounts need. For more information on how to accept credit cards, merchant
