I don’t have a merchant account yet so how can I accept payments online? My customers will be using credit and debit cards.

this one church just got a Merchant Account from Innoative merchant solutions, along with credit card procseeing software and a wireless machine that you slide the credit card through, alot of people say that its a good idea But others (mainly the white people) say its improper WHY IS THIS?

How will I collect credit card information from my on line clients? will the merchant account provider install that on my website?

I have a customer that wants to pay with a credit card today but I don’t have a merchant account.
I know PayPal does it if my customer doesn’t want to use paypal then there is nothing I can do about that.

Does anyone know a company that doesn’t take 2-5 days to set up?

Thanks

I am shopping around to find the best solution to charge my customers (in store) who pay with credit cards, and the cheapest too.
I was looking at Quickbooks credit card processing software, and it seems like a good deal. But do I have to have a merchant account in order to use it?

Thanks

this one church now has a Merchant account with innoative merchant solutions they also got credit card processing software and a wireless terminal where you can side your credit card.

the white people at this church disagress with it and says thats it not in the bible, wtf?? why do white people have to be like this?

I didnt see any phone option on a paypal merchant account. Is there an online site that I can just enter the credit card numbers and the total bill, and they can process this for me? For a percentage?

Third party and not a merchant account.

I want a merchant account but i hate paypal with all my heart, and i need a good company to handle my transactions but i am unsure what the best option is. All of my transactions will be about a dollar.what is an easy to intergrate, cheap reliable company that would work well with a small business?
