FAQs
What is the difference between a payment gateway and a merchant account?
A merchant account is a financial institution or bank account used by a merchant specifically for the purpose of collecting proceeds from a consumer bank account or credit card payment transactions.
A payment gateway is the infrastructure that enables you to accept credit cards and electronic check payments from websites, terminals or mobile devices. Payment gateways also provide merchants with transaction management, reporting and billing services.
Is my business bank account the same as a merchant account?
No. A merchant account is a type of bank account that allows businesses to accept payments by payment cards, which are typically debit or credit cards.
How long does the application process take and what is required?
Upon proper completion of the application, your Authorize.net Payment Gateway account will be approved. However, in order to accept credit cards, you must have a merchant account.
What forms of payment can you help me accept?
We offer a variety of payment options ranging from credit cards and digital electronic checks (eChecks) to PayPal.
How long does it take for the funds to be deposited into my bank account?
Your Merchant Service Provider (MSP) facilitates transferring funds to your bank account. Funding time can vary depending on your MSP.
What is a chargeback?
A chargeback is a charge reversal initiated by the cardholder’s bank on behalf of the cardholder.
