Online Credit Card Processing
Do you want to accept credit cards online, in real time? ITS has established relationships with two major online credit card and check processing firms. Normally, to process online transactions you will need to sign up with a Payment Service Provider (gateway) as well as obtain a credit card Merchant Account that is supported by that provider. Our partners roll that into one package, lowering your costs and easing setup and support. If you already have an existing credit card merchant account for retail sales, you may be able to use that same account. Please contact ITS if you have any questions about this process.

*Merchants can apply to decrease PayPal's discount rate after 90 days if monthly volume is over $3,000. Sales receipts from PayPal are deposited to merchant's PayPal account, which can earn interest if upgraded to a money market account. Money can be transferred to any bank checking account at any time.
