Internet merchant account for online credit card processing

Dykema Enterprises offers several credit card processing software programs to enable businesses to accept credit card payments over the Internet.
Some packages include a total online payment solution, including processing software, shopping cart, and a virtual credit card terminal.

Our credit card processing software gives you the ability to process transactions online from your web site. Your business will expand and grow as you offer live 24/7 ordering capability to your customers.

AND our credit card processing software makes accepting credit card payments simple! When a customer visits your web site and places an order, an email is generated that advises you that an order has been placed, lets you know that the credit card charge has been approved, and that the item(s) are ready to be shipped.

A SHOPPING CART adds the capability of displaying your products with pricing and some descriptive information. After a product is chosen, your customers are taken to a “gateway” where payment can be made by credit card.

A VIRTUAL TERMINAL gives you the ability to process transactions that are called in by phone or mail. After an order is received, you simply key the transaction into your computer using your keyboard as a terminal.
Using these credit card processing packages you can either process transaction online or manually – it’s the best of both worlds.

In order to earn the trust of your website visitors, it is a good idea to subscribe your business to The Better Business Bureau Online, a well-known organization standing for high ethics and accountability in the marketplace. Learn more here.

Starting an online business

A small business merchant account can help you get paid quicker!

If you own a small business then you know how difficult it can be to collect payment for your services and/or products in a timely manner. A small business merchant account will not only speed up the payment process, it will also provide you with more payment options.
If you are looking for a means to collect payment for your services quickly and affordably, then a small business merchant account could be the answer for you.

Since a small business does not normally generate a huge revenue, delayed or returned payments have a greater impact on it than on a large retail business. Also, since many small businesses operate over the internet or are home based, payment options can be limited.

Dykema Enterprises has the perfect credit card processing solution for your small business needs. To help keep costs in check, we offer a free credit card machine to our new retail customers.

If you own a mobile business, such as limosine service, lawncare, craft shows, home repair, etc., we offer a free wireless credit card machine that operates without the use of a phone line or internet connection – similar to a cellular phone. You will be able to accept credit cards on the spot, regardless of your location.

If your small business involves an eCommerce website – or if you work from home – your payment options may be limited. Dykema Enterprises offers several types of merchant accounts to meet those needs, including:

* Internet merchant account
* Virtual terminal
* ACH processing services
* Wireless terminal
* Pay by Phone services

Dykema Enterprises is more then happy to provide you with the information necessary to make an educated decision regarding the type of merchant account and credit card machine best suited for your small business budget.

Where Business is Done in Real-Time

Since 1998 the USA ePay team has been making it possible for businesses to accept credit cards easily, safely and securely. Now more than ever we stand behind our products.

Experience the Difference of a Gateway for Retail …
The transaction speed is only one of the many benefits that retail merchants experience when using the Retail ePay protocol. Since all the retail transactions are passed through the USA ePay payment gateway, merchants are able to view detailed reports, as well as graphs and charts of all transactions for the life of the account.

Merchants can also email, download and export their transaction reports. Whether the merchant needs to import their transactions into Quicken, or generate a report of all sales with or without tax for the year, week, or day, they can with the payment gateway. These are all features and benefits that retail merchants would and could not find in a typical dial-up machine or processing software pieces.

Merchant Account Rates

At  Dykema Enterprises our goal is to offer state-of-the-art equipment, software and services, while remaining competitive by offering some of the lowest rates in the industry.

Many competitors vary their rates higher or lower depending on a merchant’s sales volume or “average ticket”, Dykema Enterprises offers a competitive low rate – with no hidden costs.

Also, there are NO APPLICATION or SETUP FEES.

Call Dykema Enterprises and get a new offer for a lower more competitive rate!

It has never been easier to open a merchant account for your business. Please contact us to assist you in choosing the best merchant account package for your business needs.

Opening a merchant account can be a daunting task. The average business person does not understand all the “ins” and “outs” of the merchant account industry, making it hard to know what questions to ask. Further complicating the matter, the merchant account industry is highly competitive and many companies use tactics such as hidden fees and misleading information to make their companies look more attractive.

It is important that you purchase a merchant account from a company you can trust!

Dykema Enterprises has been a trusted name in the merchant services industry for over 10 years. We make honesty and openness our highest priority. We do not use our expertise in the industry to “trick” customers into purchasing merchant accounts, but instead provide our customers with enough information so that they can make their own educated decisions.

What is Authorize.net?

In order for a merchant to accept, settle and manage credit card payments and electronic checks over the Internet, they must use a payment gateway service. A payment gateway quickly and securely transfers payment information from an eCommerce website to the acquiring bank.

We have chosen this payment gateway service for many reasons, not the least of which is their outstanding reputation in the industry.
