There is no need to handle cash or cheques that increase trips to the bank. Deposits into your bank account are quite fast and trouble-free.<\/p><p>Other merchants struggle to pay the fees for credit card processing. There is a roughly 2% fee to accept credit cards. Keep in mind, merchants can make choices to <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/cheapest-payment-processing\/\">minimize credit card processing fees<\/a>. Many merchants are paying much more than 2%, which is something we&#8217;re working to decrease. The <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/credit-card-and-payment-processing-industry-overview\/\">industry overview of credit card processing<\/a> provides details on where those fees go.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ebc6a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8ebc6a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Do all merchants that accept credit cards have a merchant account?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11d09bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"11d09bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The short answer is yes. All merchants that accept credit cards have a merchant account in one way or another. Merchants can either share a merchant account or have their own. Any merchant with revenue over $100,000 per year generally has a dedicated merchant account.<\/p><p>Shared merchant accounts are provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/blog\/what-you-need-to-know-about-payment-aggregation\/\">aggregators<\/a>, also known as 3rd party processors or payment facilitators (payfacs). Each merchant account may have thousands of businesses. Examples of aggregators are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PayPal<\/a>, Stripe, or <a href=\"https:\/\/squareup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Square<\/a>. Aggregators are simple and fast to sign up for. Everything is self-serve. This is why many small businesses that process below $100,000 per year use aggregators. The downfall of aggregators is that the fees are much higher if you&#8217;re a larger business, your funds have a higher likelihood of being held, and customer services levels are generally lower.<\/p><p>Payment processors, also known as acquirers or ISOs, provide dedicated merchant accounts to businesses. Acquirers can take a few hours to a few days to assign a dedicated merchant account. However, your rates, hardware, and software will be customized to fit your business. In addition, customer service levels are higher. TRC-Parus focuses on providing dedicated merchant accounts. It&#8217;s smart for any business with more than $100,000 per year in revenue to get a dedicated merchant account.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65e2a19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"65e2a19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to get a merchant account?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe93466 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fe93466\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you want to get a merchant account or switch from your existing merchant services provider, there is no shortage of companies available.<\/p><p>You can easily find merchant service providers by looking online or talk to your bank.
