It can be either and both of products and services. The process of opening merchant account is simple if you get the right partner by your side. You should have the basic idea of the process of applying for a merchant account. This starts with credit check in order to determine whether you qualify for a merchant account or not. Also, it also evaluates how much of payment you can process every month.

  3. There are many possibilities of getting the chargebacks and refunds from customers. The businesses that happen to be more risky in terms of chargebacks and volumes are referred to as high risk businesses. For them, high risk merchant accounts are required. When a customer disputes the activity on his credit or debit card, this comes back to merchant service provider and the partner bank in form of liability.

  4. Once the above sited things are in place, the application process can be started in consent with the merchant service provider. Sole proprietors do not require any of these and can directly sign up with their names,social security number and personal bank account.

  5. THINGS THAT CAN PROVE TO BE UNFAVORABLE FOR GETTING AN APPROVAL FOR MERCHANT ACCOUNT There are certain factors considered by merchant service provider and the partner banks before they approve or disapprove the application for a merchant account. The challenging factors are listed below for your perusal:

  6. BAD CREDIT This is the most common reason for denial of a merchant account application. However, there are third party merchants that work with high risk applicants at a nominal fee. 2. STARTUPS New entrants in any industry are always at high risk. Established companies may always throw them out of existence.

  7. 3. NATURE OF INDUSTRY The nature and type of business you are in is largely responsible for the non-acceptance of your merchant account application by the service providers. The previous experience with business of same kind can get your application a red flag. Types of industries that obtain merchant account with great efforts and much difficulty are as follows: • Online gambling • Multi-level marketing companies • Affiliate marketing companies • Guns and ammunition • Gym memberships • Dietary supplements and more….

  8. 4. EXPECTED BUSINESS VOLUMES You will be asked to anticipate the business volumes you are expecting every month. If you give indications for high level of processing volume, your chances of getting the application approved will be greatly reduced. The more is the volume the more are the chances of charge backs and in turn the merchant service provider will be exposed to more of risks. It is advised to be conservative and ask for the minimum you need. As you are always having option to raise the volume later if the initial volume picks up.

  9. 5. AVERAGE TICKET SIZE The average ticket size is the average transaction price your business will have. Typically, merchant service provider will relate higher ticket size to higher risk and higher charge back cost.
