E-commerce Merchant Account


E-commerce Merchant Account
Apply with E-OnlineData
For e-commerce merchant accounts, I recommend e-onlinedata. I searched and compared merchant accounts for several months before selecting e-onlinedata for my merchant account provider for my web hosting business, Acorn Host.

This is why I chose e-onlinedata:

  • Low monthly fees and low transaction fees. E-onlinedata has some of the lowest rates available for an e-commerce merchant account.

  • No termination fees. (Some providers make you sign 3 year contracts and have very high termination fees. I think of this as a bad sign - you shouldn't have to trap your customers into staying with you!)

  • Experience with online merchants. E-onlinedata is one of the largest providers for online e-commerce retailers. This is still considered a "high risk" group by many banks, so it was important to find a provider that was used to working with online retailers. I compared e-onlinedata with Wells Fargo, CyberSource, and other big-name providers but I chose to go with a company that was focused on serving e-commerce merchants.

  • Solid customer service. I spent hours reading reviews of various providers and selected e-onlinedata as having the best overall reputation. I've been with them since March of 2005 and have not had a single problem. The signup process was easy and the service has been seamless.

Looking for a merchant account? I invite you to check out e-onlinedata to see if they are a match for what you are looking for. Visit e-onlinedata »
