| Questions Regarding The Merchant
Account:
When
do I receive my funds?
If you are accepted as a merchant with no restrictions (Most are accepted),
then your funds will be directly deposited into your account in two
to three business days after you batch the order. Batching is a simple
process that just requires you to review (the order) and then click
to submit !!
How long does it take to get an approval?
Once we have received your completed application, it takes 2-3 business
days for an approval. The complete e-commerce setup takes 5-6 business
days.
What is a Chargeback?
A Chargeback of $15 is charged to a merchant when a consumer claims
their card has been charged and the merchant has not delivered the
product or performed the service. The $15 (along with the original
charge to the consumer) is debited back to the merchant.
A chargeback fee is NOT charged when a merchant processes a return
of a charge to a consumer.
Who is the Bank?
Who am I getting the merchant Account from?
Goemerchant.com works with many processors and banks. Some of our primary
partners are Nova Information Systems, Online Data Systems, CardService
International, and Card Processing Systems. These processors give special
program pricing to us and allow us to give you the very "Most"
for your money.
Do I need to open a checking
account with another bank?
No, all funds are credited and program charges are debited from the
checking account that you provide with your application. Visa/MC will
NOT accept personal accounts. So you will need a "Business checking
account".
What
is 2.29% discount rate, and 30 cent transaction fee? How does that
work?
Visa & Mastercard and the processor take a fee for every transaction.
It works like this. On a $100 sale, the discount rate of 2.29% would
deduct $2.29 from the $100 sale. There is a 30 cent transaction fee
charged to each order. Therefore, on the $100 sale, the processor would
keep $2.79 , giving you, the merchant a net of $97.21.
Note, some banks deduct this fee at time of sale, while most deduct
it as a total of charges at the end of each month.
How
does the $15 Monthly Minimum work?
In the example above, you the merchant would pay $2.79 cents in total
transaction fees on that order. The bank has a minimum of $15 per month
in transaction charges. So if you did not do another order for the
month, they would charge you the additional $12.21 to cover the $15
monthly minimum. If you do zero orders a month, you will be charged
the $15 monthly minimum. If you do $15 a month or more in transaction
charges, then you pay no minimum.
