Internet Merchant Account

What is an Internet Merchant Account?

In order to accept payments online you will need two things:

  • An Internet Merchant Account (not to be confused with a "normal" Business bank account)
  • A Payment Gateway

An Internet Merchant Account (IMA, sometimes also referred to as a Merchant Account) enables your business to process online card transactions and capture funds when used in combination with a Payment Gateway. It can be obtained directly via an acquiring bank (?) or through a payment provider like PayPoint.net.
