What is an Internet-ready merchant account?
An Internet-ready merchant account allows you to accept credit cards as a form of payment through your online store. It’s a specialized merchant account that handles Internet transactions in real-time without any human intervention.
Why do I need an Internet-ready merchant account?
In order to operate a fully successful ecommerce site, you will need to accept credit cards. Credit cards offer the consumer an easy-to-purchase, real-time method of payment, which other payments (check, money order) cannot offer. Just ask yourself this question, “Am I more likely to buy from an online store that offers credit cards as a payment option compared to ones that don’t?” It doesn’t matter how big or small your business is, you need to have the ability to accept credit cards to succeed online.
