What Every SMB Should Know About Payment Models

SMBs and moneyRunning an ebusiness means a lot of work, little free time and many different problems to cope with. Quite often online payments turn out to be one of most difficult issues for merchants. And this cannot be avoided if you want to sell anything – allowing to make a payment is obviously a must. Additionally, merchants may get confused when choosing a payment processor, because many tend to present the subject differently. This is a result of the subject’s complicity – payment processors want to simplify it for merchants, but they usually do this differently.

Apart from technical issues, features and other perks, the most important thing is to understand two most popular payment models from the business point of view. If you want to accept online payments, credit and debits cards will surely be an important part of it. And in order to be able to accept such payments, a merchant account is always needed.

There are two most popular solutions here – a business can either get its own merchant account or use a payment provider’s one. Usually it’s a bit more difficult to get a very own merchant account from an acquirer and this (more…)

Different Types of Merchant Account Types Available

Merchant account typesDeciphering the various types of merchant account services can be very confusing. Much of the sale and servicing of merchant accounts is unregulated, making confusion a valuable tool of an unscrupulous salesperson. Unless a merchant understands how banks classify merchant accounts, there can appear to be a confusing maze of merchant account types. Banks classify merchants and their accounts by the process used to harvest card data. The bank also considers the type of merchant and processes for transaction completion. This article serves to explain bank defined merchant account classifications.

Banks recognize two methods to harvest card data, Swiped and Keyed. These two methods are sub-classified by business type and transaction completion method.

Person-to-Person Transactions – Swiped Category

Merchants in this category have face-to-face interaction with customers who present their card at the time of transaction. A point of sale hardware terminal harvests the card data.

Merchant subcategories are as followed:

Retail Merchant – Brick and mortar stores or offices where the transaction takes place using the POS hardware. Restaurants or Catering Merchants – This is a special category allowing a customer to add tips after receiving the transaction slip that has be authorized for the restaurant bill.

What are Chargebacks?

Credit card chargebacks‘Chargeback‘ is a financial term, referring to the process of returning funds to a consumer, reversing an outgoing transfer from their credit or debit card – effectively, a refund. They usually relate to transactions which are suspected to be fraudulent or unfair: if a consumer purchases goods or services using a credit or debit card and the seller fails to comply with the terms specified, the consumer may request one from their credit or debit card issuer.

Chargebacks and Merchant Accounts

Many businesses and retailers choose to set up a merchant account with an online merchant account service, which enables them to accept credit and debit card payments for online transactions. All major credit cards can be used. Liability for chargebacks falls upon the credit card issuer, which means that all merchant service providers are closely examined to ensure that they will not carry out fraudulent activity, which would be potentially costly. Merchant account service providers are expected to respond promptly to requests for chargebacks.

When are Chargebacks Requested?

The main reasons for requesting one are that the goods purchased never arrived, the goods were significantly different than described, or that the transaction was carried out without the cardholder’s permission. Chargebacks (more…)
