I wish to process credit cards real time. What do I need to do?
The first step towards being able to accepting credit cards is acquiring a merchant account. Merchant accounts are an account created by a financial institution that will deposit the money accepted from your web site into your bank account.
The payment processing partner of Network Solutions, Global Payments, is a leading payment solutions provider and can meet the growing demands of your business by offering a full range of payment processing products and services.
Getting a merchant account, though, is only half of the process. After you obtain the account, you must then obtain a payment gateway. A payment gateway is a system that actually transmits the information from your web site to the credit card processor, like Global Payments to get an accepted or declined message. The payment gateway also sends the info back to your website or retail store to let the customer know if their credit card has been approved, and finally it sends the info to the merchant account and tells it that you have gotten an approved transaction of a certain monetary amount from the bank that your customer's credit card is associated with.
Choose a Credit Card Gateway
There are many choices of payment gateways that exist and the decision may appear to be a confusing one. We urge you to pick up the phone and contact merchant account services provider Global Payments at 1-800-929-1245 ext #9 to discuss your needs and to understand the payment gateways that are compatible with your processing solution.
Although there are many gateways that are compatible with the Pro and Standard E-Commerce products of Network Solutions, they may not interoperate effectively with Global Payments. Call 1-800-929-1245 ext #9 to discuss the best solution for your business or sign up for a merchant account online!
