Merchant Support Services

With an Instabill merchant account, merchants receive a variety of web support services including payment gateway integration and shopping carts, assistance in obtaining an SSL certificate for your website and PCI compliance services at a reduced cost. Find out what additional Web support services Instabill offers here.

Chargeback Prevention and Reversals

Since too many chargebacks could lead to a terminated merchant account, it is important that merchants prevent chargebacks from occurring. If a chargeback transaction should occur, it is equally important to dispute it to remain in good standing with the acquiring bank. Learn how to prevent chargebacks here.

Merchant Account Application Checklist

The documents required for a merchant account will likely vary from processor to processor. For this reason, we have created a merchant account application checklist to show the underwriting documents Instabill requires. Submitting these documents to your merchant account manager will expedite the application process.

Merchant Account Fees and Risk Management

One of the first things every business owner wants to know about its merchant account provider is the cost to process credit cards. Instabill has partnerships with acquiring banks worldwide, which means our merchant account fees are competitive and affordable. Learn about Instabill merchant account fees here.

Determine Your Risk Factor

In determining merchant account fees, acquiring banks first need to determine a business’s risk factor. To do this, banks examine a merchant’s credit card processing history, chargeback ratio, business industry and much more. Find out how you can determine your own business risk factor here.

Merchant Category Code

A merchant category code, or MCC for short, allows banks to identify specific industries using four-digit numbers. However, knowing your MCC is also helpful for merchants since similar e-commerce business types tend to pay similar merchant account fees and rates. Find your merchant category code here.
