How Merchant Accounts Work
Since e-commerce is usually at the heart of an online business, let’s go into some more detail about the tools required to make it happen. Basically, if you want to sell products and collect payment electronically, you’re going to have to have:
- Merchant Account – an account that lets you collect payment via credit card
- Software to Collect Information – shopping cart software
- Software to Process the Transaction and Send information to all of the involved parties (your bank, their bank, etc.)
- Secure Server – SSL (secure socket layer) will encrypt the data and send it to a secure server where it can’t be intercepted by a third party.
