There are many great benefits to having a merchant account. The most obvious benefit to having a merchant accounts is that you will experience a huge growth in sales. People today are all about instant gratification and taking the easy road. Customers that have to completean order form, make a phone call, and/or write a check or purchase a money order, will not be as likely to order from you. However, throw in the ability to pay over the internet with a credit or debit card or by phone with one, and you have instantly doubled or even tripled the likelyhood that you make a sale.
Another benefit to having your own %link% is that you will experience fewer losses and pay less fees than in cashing a check. Money orders often take longer to clear your bank, and out of state checks that are deposited into your local bank may also incur charges or take additional time for them to clear the customers bank. When accepting checks you also have the added disadvantage of occassionally accepting a check that gets returned for non sufficient funds that may not clear the bank at all. Recovering that money is typically difficult indeed. Accepting credit cards eliminates all of these expenses, and the fees charged by most credit card processing companies will not come close to equaling those charged by your bank or credit union for the NSF check you collected.
