With our
highly competitive rates and percentages, you'll
pay less for each transaction,
putting
more money back in your pocket for each sale at your ecommerce website.
Some merchant providers charge $100 or more to set up your merchant account (we
charge nothing) and tie you into a long term contract (no commitment requirements
here) to receive their best rates. We also offer the choice of two payment gateways,
unlike other providers who offer only a single set of rates with one gateway service.
Both of our partners (Authorize.net and USA ePay) are well-known, highly reliable
providers with extremely competitive rates.
