1. What is a discount rate?
A discount rate is the percentage of each transaction that you pay to your card processor for processing your credit card sales. These fees are largely influenced by the percentage that Master Card and Visa charge us.
2. What if I have a retail storefront, and need a P.O.S. terminal?
If you have a retail store where every transaction will be "swiped" then we suggest leasing or purchasing a Point of Sale Terminal. If the majority of your transactions are not going to be "swiped", then our FREE Authorize.net Internet Gateway solution is definitely your answer. Please contact us if you would like to discuss alternative Retail / P.O.S. solutions.
3. What cards will I be able to accept?
With a basic account, you will be able to accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express. Please contact us if you have any specific questions about these card types.
4. What if my credit is bad?
Very few applications get declined. (And credit (or lack of) is not typically the reason). If you have terrible credit, your discount rate/fees may be slightly higher, but most likely you will still get approved. About 99% of our applications get approved.
5. How do I get the money from my credit card sales?
The completed sales from your credit card processing will be batched out daily and deposited directly into your checking account. The money is deposited electronically in to your local bank... There's no need to open up a new checking account to use our services.
6. Does it cost extra to accept Discover?
NO! Most merchant account providers charge you $25-$50 application fee, and then an additional $25 membership fee. With Capital Merchant Solutions, you pay $0 setup for the ability to accept Discover.
7. Does it cost extra to accept American Express?
Not with us. Other companies charge up to an extra $100 for the processing an American Express merchant application. With us, there is no setup Fee. American Express discount rates are very comparable to normal bank card rates. American Express will assign your rate based on your volume and average ticket size. American Express cardholders have a tendency to charge at higher levels than MC/Visa card holders.
8. Will I find a better service or better product?
Probably not. We stand behind our products and services. Our prices are some of the most competitive in the country. Your satisfaction is our number one goal.
9. What if my application is declined?
Very few applications get declined. If you have terrible credit, your discount rate/fees may be slightly higher, but most likely you will still get approved.
