Internet Merchant Account

Internet merchant accounts are for those merchants who sell products or services from a web site. Transactions handled directly on a web site utilize a credit card payment gateway to handle the payment securely. Internet based accounts can also be used for merchants who handle transactions from locations other than their own via a virtual terminal. An Internet account utilizing a virtual terminal can be accessed from virtually any device with browser based Internet access.

Internet based accounts are becoming more and more popular due to the rapid expansion of portable computers (even cell phones) that have wireless Internet capabilities.
