Will I need a merchant account to take online payments?

Yes, you will need a merchant account and a payment gateway that can securely process card payments on your website or via a virtual terminal (for phone and mail order payments).

You can use one company to provide both in one bundle or integrate a specialist payment gateway provider or ecommerce platform with a separate merchant account provider. 

We’ll help you decide on the best route to take and allow you to compare the fees of the different options easily. Our main focus will be on getting you the online payment functionality you require at the lowest rates.

I already take online payments, can you just lower my fees without changing my tech setup?

Yes, in most cases you can. We appreciate many businesses don’t want the hassle of changing their payment gateway, ecommerce platform or customer checkout experience. For many businesses we’ll be able to switch the merchant account provider in order to lower your transaction fees without requiring a change in software. 

However, if your current merchant account provider currently hosts your payment page, and you want to lower your fees by switching to a new merchant account provider, some changes will be required.
