Meramak Bankcard Merchant Account Services

The Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal is an online solution for many businesses with it's web security built into web pages. IE browsers, Firefox, Netscape, and versions of Mozilla browsers interface with the gateway and encrypts credit card information over the Internet conform to Mastercard and VISA regulations. Businesses can authorize, process and manage credit card transactions from any computer that has Internet access and an appropriate Web browser.

This Virtual Terminal replaces standard authorization terminals (credit card terminals) software, and provides the one of the best solutions for MO/TO merchants who manually enter credit card transactions for mail or phone order sales.

Virtual Terminal suits large and small businesses of all sizes because it is easy to understand yet powerful enough to expand with the growth of your business. The expense and monthly cost is comparable to costs normally associated with online authorizing and processing MO/TO credit card transactions. It's also much faster than standard dial-up authorization systems and is accessible anywhere you have an Internet connection.

Businesses that we set an account up with Authorize.Net may access the Virtual Terminal through the Authorize.Net Web site using any web browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and related Mozilla products.

Authorize.net does not issue merchant accounts. They are a secure Internet Gateway. Authorize.net has been online for years providing a secure way for businesses to accept credit card transactions online. Authorize.net requires a merchant provider like us to issue a merchant account that accesses their services.

This is how it works. We issue you or your business a merchant account. Your merchant account includes two numbers used for programming your account and for routing the money from your sales into your bank account after processing. We login with Authorize.net and open an account using the merchant numbers assigned to your account We will issue you or your business a ID and password to access the Authorize.net account. Once you are at the main page, you may login. After logging into the Authorize.Net account using the unique user ID and a password we issued, merchants can access the complete range of Authorize.Net services -- authorizations for purchases, credits and returns, status and activity reports, and much more.

To authorize credit card transactions online, merchant's must fill out an e-form providing Authorize.Net with the information needed to process the credit card transaction. All information is encrypted using the latest 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0 technology and is sent to an Authorize.Net host server. The host server then transmits the data through the processing network to the appropriate card issuer's bank using a secure, proprietary network connection. The process takes about three seconds. Merchant's receive an authorization number, and the Authorize.Net server stores the transaction on it's servers for online review and returns. All transactions (your sales) are automatically settled each day and are typically funded within two to three business days. The money is routed to your bank account using the information we submitted to get your merchant account approved.

Merchants who sign up for Authorize.net can also review the status of past and pending transactions and run a host of reports directly from the Authorize.Net Merchant Interface. The Virtual Terminal looks like a short form with a few fields to fill out. Once you put in the customer's name, address and associated credit card sale information, click submit at the bottom of the screen and you are on your way to making a sale using a Virtual Terminal.
