What are the benefits to my business for accepting credit cards? This is not as simple a question as it seems. Many businesses just don't need to accept credit cards. Small food vendors or other small cash transaction based vendors are probably better off being cash only. Alternatively, service firms that do large invoices also may not need to accept credit cards because the transaction size is large and the volume is low. Merchants who do a high volume of transactions, for example clothing stores, attractions, retailers, or restaurants are ideal candidates.

Transaction volume and size will generally increase because customers are comfortable spending on credit cards and are more likely to spend a little extra in order to purchase what they want. Most consumers have access to credit cards, as a result, you may find that you will attract more customers who would otherwise not spend cash with your business.

In addition to being able to accept credit card payments, there are some other benefits including increased fraud protection through payments like the Verified by Visa and MasterCode programs. You can also run gift card programs that use the same underlying technology as credit cards.

How to find a Merchant Processor? There are two types of merchant processors, those who are ISOs (independent Sales Organizations) for the major banks like Chase/Paymentech or HSBC, and those who are agents who work with an ISO. Anyone can become an agent, generally speaking, but in order to become an ISO, a company must go through a lengthy and costly application process. When looking for a merchant processor, I recommend you look for one who is an ISO. You can usually find a merchant processor through your local Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade. Alternatively, ask for a reference from a trusted source.

What should you ask when selecting a Merchant Processor? Your relationship with your merchant processor is a very important one. Since your merchant processor will ultimately set your discount rates and be responsible (to some degree) for dispersing your funds, you will want to ensure that you know the company and its policies and procedures. Here are some good questions to ask when selecting a merchant processor:

1. Who is their primary bank? I recommend you choose one who is with Chase/Paymentech, by far the World leader and largest payment clearing house.
2. Who are some of their clients? Find out who some of their clients and partners are. You can usually tell whether there will be a fit if the merch
