Improve Your Competitiveness with a Virtual Terminal Merchant Account
In the age we live in, never has it been easier to market a
product. Aside from the fact that a product can quickly receive national
attention through advertising dollars spent on television, but, for even less
investment, products can be marketed the world over through the internet.
Online marketing has forever changed the way we do business, and it is a must
for any venture to have an online address to refer potential customers to.
Therefore, having a virtual terminal
merchant account is necessary to compete with others in your industry.
Virtual terminal accounts are rather simplistic. Different
than a physical terminal where a card is swiped, common to the world of retail,
the only equipment necessary for the virtual account is a computer and internet
access. Following a simple setup procedure, credit card payments can be
accepted online. Customers can themselves enter their information, eliminating
the overhead involved with hiring a cashier to take the payment. Orders are
then shipped to the customer who receives email confirmation with both shipping
information and a receipt. This also cuts costs on receipt paper.
The merchant also benefits because all transactions are
automatically and conveniently stored online. With a couple simple clicks, a
transaction history can be displayed making it quite simple to compile data for
your accountant or to take care of the accounting yourself. Tax time is a
breeze when using a virtual terminal merchant
account.
With identity theft a constant threat, the virtual terminal
merchant account protects client information. Clients will be prompted to log
in to your website prior to making a purchase using a secured user name and
password. Identity thieves have gone as far as to snap a picture of a credit
card being used in line at retail stores, continuing to steal their identity
using just their cell phone. Virtual shopping secludes the customer to the
comfort and security of their home.
Online shopping is here to stay. Any business can take
advantage of utilizing its worldwide customer base to market their products,
and a virtual terminal merchant account makes doing so easier than ever.
