Why Should You Have Your Own Free Online Merchant Account?
In the modern day, not having an online merchant account to accept credit card payments through a website isn’t feasible. An online business wouldn’t survive without one.
The benefits of a free online merchant account? Let us count them:
Accept credit card payments—any credit card
As we touched upon above, a merchant account enabled a business to accept credit card payments through the business website. A merchant account through Instabill, however, enables merchants to accept not just Visa, MasterCard, AmEx and Discover, but local credit card brands worldwide:
LATAM:
- Argencard
- Pago Facil
- Boletol
APAC
- UnionPay
- JCB
- PayEasy
We can also furnish solutions for popular Middle East region credit cards such as OneCard and CashU; or European cards including Maestro, GiroPay and MultiBanco.
The most popular online payment method
What is the most popular payment method of online shopping? It’s credit and debit cards by a longshot, with all the major brands (Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay and JCB) as well as the local brands (Banamex, Maestro and iDeal). Hence, all the more reason to get an online merchant account to accept payments from virtually anyone, anywhere.
There are also online merchant account solutions for merchants to accept e-wallets, e-checks and other money transfer options.
Fast checkout experience
With online merchant accounts, merchants can choose the shopping cart that best fits their checkout needs (we recommend keeping it to a minimum of steps). A fast, easy checkout experience enables merchants to turn first-time customers into repeat customers.
Electronic check solutions
In addition to a merchant account, we recommend merchants offer check payment solutions, particularly if they are considered high risk. If ever an acquiring bank decides to halt processing for a specific industry, a check processing solution can carry a merchant over to their next solution.
