Merchant Account Resources

The focus of this site is very narrow. How to get an inexpensive merchant account. I don't want to dilute the message by going off on tangents.

That said, there are plenty of topics that the readers of this site will be interested in. That's what the merchant account resources page is about.

What is inexpensive?!

An inexpensive merchant account is...

Not bigger than you are.

If you are small, you don't need all the bells and whistles. Online only? You may not even need a merchant account of your own yet!

Competitively priced.

Why not just the cheapest? Fees matter, of course, but remember a bad provider can be the most expensive of all if it ties up your funds, has poor products and support, or goes out of business.

Well-known and respected.

See above. Charge.com has been around since 1996 and received a number of accolades.

Free to apply for and setup.

This industry is too competitive to require application fees.

If you are considering several merchant accounts and the prices are in this range, stop using price to compare. It's time to compare service, support, features, etc. Look beyond price.
