3rd Party Merchant Accounts

Credit card payment processing means you don’t need your own credit card merchant account with its associated monthly fees.

The advantages:
* No merchant account, gateway or secure shopping cart required
* No credit history required
* No monthly minimum sales
* No monthly fees
* Allows recurring billing

The disadvantages:
* Higher cost per item sold
* Billing and credit card statements don’t show your business
* Doesn’t integrate with mail list.
* Deposits to your bank account take longer
* If you do something they think is wrong they can shut down your whole operation

Since the credit card processor is on the hook for any chargebacks they tend to be leery of anything that may seem shady. Read the agreement carefully
