You will definitely need a merchant account if you run your business online. This type of account allows the buyer to pay for the goods purchased on the store’s website through a bankcard; it greatly simplifies the purchase process itself for both the client and the seller.

A merchant account is a solution with which you can accept payments for purchased products and process them. You can pay through terminals or online – through an e-mail box or the seller’s website.

You can connect a merchant account in a few days, if all the necessary documents are sent properly, and all relevant criteria are met.

Benefits of a merchant account
