I have Paypal- isn’t that good enough? Do I really need a merchant account?

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

No, it isn’t. PayPal is widely used, though in comparison to Visa, Discover, and so forth, it’s not at all able to match up. Clearly you’re researching why you should accept credit cards for your own reasons, but the most important reason is that in a tough economy, and in general, it’s important to give your customers a wide variety of payment options.

PayPal is large. Visa & American Express are much larger, and have a much better reach. In addition, setting up with a merchant account provider is not difficult. It’s generally not a step by step process, like PayPal, but your time will be well spent here. In terms of fees, merchant accounts are generally cheaper than PayPal. It’s very much in your best interest to take the time, and get it sorted.

Merchant Account Search is a site dedicated to helping you find your payment processing partner. At CityReach Media, we generally focus on all things related to running an Internet business. Web Hosting, webmaster forums, webmaster themes, and so on, so naturally we felt that having a rich content site geared towards finding a merchant account provider would be a wise idea.

While Visa and American Express, Discover, and so forth are so widely accepted, especially on the Internet, it’s interesting to find that business owners are generally clueless on how it all works. The fees, if their merchant provider is giving them a good rate, and what other options for accepting credit cards are available. As MerchantAccountSearch.com progresses, we hope that you’ll find our research helpful in your search for a merchant account provider.
