Virtual Terminals and Credit Card Machines
In a high risk online industry? Accept credit cards at low rates
You may be in a high risk field without even knowing it. If you're practicing ecommerce online, in the travel industry, or you sell alternative products and services, you may have been classified among a group known as "high risk merchant accounts." If so, you might learn that you can still transact business online and through stores, but the credit card terminals (whether they are virtual or machines) cost more and charge more per transaction. If you're considered high volume, doing business offshore, associated with gambling or poker, or sell membership in "over 21" sites, then you need to get affordable high risk merchant account services that can keep you in business, and profitable. This site is designed to help you find merchant services and accept credit cards through your website.
