Merchant Accounts

Accept credit cards on your website, over the phone, or in person, depending on the merchant account you apply for.

Merchant accounts have different costs associated with start up, and transaction fees, so smallHOST is offering a range of solutions here for you to choose from.

A merchant account is a type of bank account that allows businesses to accept payments by debit or credit cards. A merchant account also serves as an agreement between a retailer, a merchant bank and payment processor for the settlement of credit card and/or debit card transactions.
