Merchant Account In Uk
accepting payments online. what is the process please?
hi. im opening an online furniture business in the UK. i want to accept card payments, but dont want to use paypal.
can you please tell me what the process is? my business account has been opened today.
somebody mentioned that i need a merchant account and payment gateway.
also need to access the payments within a week or so as i buy the goods after the customer orders them, rather then keep them in stock.

all advice would be appreciated. thanks. x
What’s your objection to using Paypal? Many on-line retailers use them. (We have for some time.) The only issue that we’ve had, which I can understand might be a problem with the products you’re selling is that they have a transaction limit of £650 for buyers who don’t have a Paypal account.
We looked at setting up a bureau account with Netbanx to get round this. They’re UK based, you can speak to real people easily if you have questions and their fees are very reasonable. I think it takes up to 2 weeks to get your money through from them but that’s quicker than most of the other providers.
The other benefit of having a burea account with Netbanx is that you don’t need a merchant account as well. Banks usually won’t give you a merchant account until you’ve been with them for 6 months. After 6 months with Netbanx you can apply to have a merchant account. It doesn’t seem worth it, however, as the bank will charge you a fee for having the merchant account and you’ll still have to pay your fees for payment transactions.
As has been mentioned elsewhere, you’ll need a shopping cart. We use Roman Cart. Not difficult to set up and they give you all the code to put into your website.
In summary, therefore, you need a website, a shopping cart provider (check whether your hosting company provides one or check out Roman Cart) and a payment gateway such as Paypal or Netbanx.
Good luck!
