Internet Merchant Accounts
Internet merchants are not just those who have ecommerce websites. They can also be those who turn their personal computers into “virtual terminals” and process credit cards over a secure server. These merchants receive keyed rates because the credit card information is 100% keyed into the computer. Keyed rates are higher than swiped rates because more risks are involved in not being able to check the ID of a customer. To decrease risk, the secure server (gateway) portal requires specific information to help identify if the customer is really the cardholder. The billing address for the credit card is requested (AVS), as is the expiration date of the card, and the 3 to 4 digit code on the front or back of the credit card (CVV2 number). Transactions where this data matches the card will receive a lower discount keyed rate than when the data does not match the card, as those transactions are more risky and possibly fraudulent.
You will have to pay an additional fee as an Internet merchant account holder. This additional fee is the Secure Gateway Fee. Both ecommerce and virtual credit card merchant account holders have this additional fee, as the cardholder’s information will be passing over the Internet for processing in each case. The gateway keeps cardholder data private and secure from hackers and identity thieves. RockBottom Merchant Accounts uses Authorize.net as its gateway provider. Authorize.net is a PCI DDS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant company, so you know you are getting the best with this merchant account service.
Internet merchants are our fastest growing merchant base for credit card processing. If you are interested in more information on our Internet merchant accounts, please apply now!
Retail Merchant Accounts
Retail merchants process face-to-face sales through the credit card terminal by swiping the card. This allows you to obtain lower discount rates on your transactions and mitigate risk by checking the customer’s picture ID to verify that the credit card belongs to the customer. RockBottom Merchant Accounts offers rates begin at 0.49%† for swiped credit card merchant accounts, which is one of the lowest rates in the industry.
Retail merchants are both storefront locations as well as in businesses where the merchants travel with a wireless credit card terminal. In both cases, at least 50% of your payment processing activity should involve face-to-face swiped transactions. Retail merchants also have the ability to process checks, gift cards and process PIN-based debit transactions by having the customers key in PIN-numbers.
