What is merchant services?
Merchant services’ is a term used to describe financial products and services which enable businesses to accept electronic payments. These include physical products such as credit card machines, card readers and point of sale (POS) systems, as well as services such as payment gateways, merchant accounts and online payment systems.
What do merchant services do?
Although we are all familiar with the speed and convenience of making a card payment, there are many products which work together behind the scene to process the transaction. Merchant services allow customers, business banks, customers banks, the payment processor and the card provider to work together.
When a customer makes a payment by card each of these products and services must align, for the payment to be processed successfully. This may sound complicated and time consuming, however merchant services which are operating successfully will automatically take care of everything in just a few seconds.
How can I take credit card payments?
Merchant services provide multiple opportunities for businesses to accept card payments, which will allow your business to provide customers with more ways to pay.
Many businesses need to be able to take payments face to face and also virtually, so merchant services offer built-in fraud screening and security features. The most popular ways to take card payments are:
- Online
- Face to face
- Invoices
- Telephones
Accepting card payments when the customer is not present is often a convenient option, however there is always a risk that the customer may not be the authorised card holder. It’s possible to avoid potential fraudulent payments by asking for complete information and using secure merchant services.
What are the benefits of accepting credit card payments?
Credit and debit cards are increasingly becoming the main form of payment, as we gradually shift towards a cashless society.
Accepting card payments will open your business up to customers who do not carry cash, which is sure to have a positive impact on the business. However, there are many other benefits to your business when it comes to accepting card payments.
