(August 7, 2001) Advanced Merchant Solutions Inc.,
the creators of MerchantAnywhere.com initially developed
this merchant account program for use with their Palm
and Pocket PC wireless credit card verifiers, but small
businesses and startups are catching on.
Their Quick Start Program allows new businesses and
startups to establish a real, fully functional credit
card merchant account without the high start up costs
usually associated with them. Traditionally, merchant
account providers charged a fee for application, startup,
or cancellation, and paid a portion of that to the seller,
or referrer of that business account. Since the Quick
Start system was initially developed to be a part of
a shrink-wrap package on the shelf, there was no need
for these associated costs.
In addition to not charging application, setup and
cancellation fees, there are also no gateway or statement
fees associated with this account. All the user is charged
is a flat rate of $24.95 per month, and 2.2 percent
of each sale for Visa and MasterCard transactions. The
processing center takes a 30-cent per transaction fee
as well.
This merchant account can optionally allow the merchant
to accept American Express and Discover, as well as
Electronic Checks through ACH (Automated Clearing House).
It is available to any small / home business with a
U.S. business or personal checking account, no liens,
judgments, or collections, and a computer with an internet
connection. Full details and applications (on-line and
FAX) are available at: www.merchantanywhere.com.
Unlike most software based systems, that charge additional
fees for their multi-user applications, this system
allows an unlimited number of internet connected computers
to be used as merchant terminals.
