What many of the card processing companies that handle Internet merchant accounts don't tell you is that they use third party processing, raising your cost of service and potentially putting clients of your ecommerce business at risk. Additionally, many of our competitors charge you extra to maintain your ecommerce merchant account; hidden fees for AVS and transactions to your Internet merchant account raise your overhead and affect your bottom line.
Credit card processing done with CardAccept will never cost you additional fees for transactions or for AVS on merchant accounts. We maintain a strong client base by bringing you the best in ecommerce merchant account plans with all you need and no hidden fees.
