Internet Applications

Internet Processing is a popular choice for many merchant’s and is one of the specialties here at Best Merchant Rates.

I speak with many of our customers who are applying for Internet Processing.  One of the most common questions is whether someone can be approved to accept Visa and Mastercard over the Internet before their website has been officially launched.   I am happy to report the answer to this question is “Yes”.

First, if a “test” or “backdoor” website is available this can be used to approve the account. 

Also,  mock or sample copies of the web pages can also be used.  Often times these are presented in a Power Point presentation or similar format.

If your website is up and running at the time of your application it should meet the following guidelines:

1)     The business name on the website matches the business name (Doing Business As or “DBA”) or legal name on the application.

2)     Provide a clear description of the product or service being sold.

3)     Both the address and phone number provided on the website should match the application.

4)     Shipping policy (if applicable)

5)     Return policy (if applicable)

6)     Refund policy (if applicable)
