RETAIL MERCHANT ACCOUNTS AND POS SYSTEMS

A Retail Merchant Account is descriptive of a merchant who will be processing the majority of their transitions with the customer’s card present at the time of sale. Most commonly this can via a “swipe” transaction or contactless payment system.

​

Because the credit card is present at the time of the sale, there is less of a concern for fraudulent transactions. Due to this reduction in risk, Retail Merchant Accounts rates are among the best available.

​

For reference, this type of account may often be referred to as a swipe, CP, or Card Present account and serves as the foundation for rate structures common with markets, gift shops, restaurants, and many service based ventures.

​

What you should know about Retail Merchant Accounts

​

Having the credit card present at time of the transaction may reduce the likelihood of fraudulent charges, but there are many other important variables to consider when developing an appropriate rate structure for a retail merchant account.

​

There is a whole segment of merchant accounts that might be deemed as “high risk” based on the product type, service, or entity. For more information about this segment of accounts, please visit “High Risk merchant account” Section under "SERVICES".
