Physical/Retail Storefront
In the credit card world, "retail sales" are defined as face-to-face transactions, where you (the merchant) interact with your customers in person. Your customers present credit cards to you, which you then swipe or key in to a terminal. This normally happens at your physical storefront, also known as your "brick and mortar" place of business.
Retail transactions differ from "online" or "e-commerce" transactions, where you do not meet your customers or accept their credit cards in person. Instead, they enter their card information in the shopping cart of your business website.
So, whether you're new to retail sales and looking for a merchant account provider or you have been operating a physical storefront for awhile and want to switch providers, PCIMerchant can help.
We'll set you up with terminals and all the equipment you'll need to accept credit cards, debit cards and gift cards at your store or other place of business. We can also assist with everything you need to process card payments for phone and mail orders.
What is the most important part of running a successful business? Steady cash flow! Don't miss out on the extra sales you can make by accepting credit cards. Studies show you can double, or even triple, your sales by accepting credit cards versus only cash or checks. Visit the links listed for more details.
