How Third Party Processors operate
The payments your customers make are processed through
third party’s own merchant account, and you
retailer is paid (minus a commission) by
third party processor. This allows you to sell online without
necessity of having your own internet merchant account.
However,
Third Party Processor makes its profit by charging a processing fee. Usually, third party processor charges are a little more on a transaction compared with having your own online merchant account. Though set-up fees are usually free or minimal.
So, there you have it. You can accept online credit cards on your website through a Third Party Processor without needing your own merchant account. Free internet merchant accounts by another name!
