Small Business Account

Bill — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:25:49 +0000

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.

What Merchant Credit Card Processing Services Do I Need To Accept Payments Online?

Bill — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:49:32 +0000

I’m starting an internet business and will need to accept credit card payments. Should I use something like paypal or should I just get my own merchant account and payment gateway? From my initial testing, my sales look very promising and I’m expecting a lot of business.

How do money transfers between banks work? Who makes money?

Bill — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:55:47 +0000

I’m trying to set up a website that would allow individuals to transfer money – donations in this case – to my user’s account. I want to do this as cheaply as possible. The users don’t want to make a paypal account, they want me to handle the whole thing for them on the website, and the money should end up in their bank account without them doing anything.

There seem to be so many different institutions that can do this, all in different ways. FirstData, PayPal, TSYS, noca.com are a few that I’ve found. Could someone explain this industry to me, how these transfers work, who profits and how? Should I act as a middle man, transfering the money to my account and then to the clients?

Can I charge a customer a merchant service credit card fee on top of their invoice?

Bill — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:02:06 +0000

Our customers rarely use credit cards as a form of payment. It’s usually a check via mail. But a few do use a Visa or MasterCard once in a blue moon. We are charged 2.75% from our bank for the the total of the credit card purchase. At the time of the credit card transaction can I add the standard percentage on top of the invoice amount? Am I legally allowed to do so? Also, am I legally allowed to markup the 2.75% we are charged on our merchant statement?

Firstdata corporation?

Bill — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:35:40 +0000

Has anyone heard of a company called Firstdata or better yet even work or worked for them that can tell me something about this company and what if anything they offer. I received a call from their office in Toronto offering a position with them which I found odd. Any info would be great and a big help.
