Mail Order / Phone Order

Typically, businesses in industries that accept payments primarily over the phone or by having the customer mail-in payment had to wait weeks to get paid for their services. Now, businesses that never see their customers face-to-face can receive fast payment by taking credit cards over the phone. Businesses can get real-time authorizations and know that they are going to get paid.

A mail order or telephone order account (MOTO) is similar to setting up a retail account. The business owner will need to submit the same application and obtain credit card processing equipment or software in order to process credit card merchant processing or transactions. The main difference is that in a MOTO account, the credit cards are rarely or never swiped. The information is typically taken over the phone by the business owner and entered manually into credit card processing equipment or software.

If the account is set-up the right way, a MOTO account can be very beneficial and relatively low-risk to the business owner. Premier recommends our secure virtual payment gateway for all MOTO businesses. With our award winning customer service representatives and exclusive technology you can be confident that each customer's payment experience is positive.

Ecommerce

E-Commerce has quickly become the next frontier for entrepreneurs and business owners worldwide. There are fortunes to be made online if you have the right product or service. An online storefront can be used to efficiently sell one item, as well as market a whole warehouse of goods or services. Online businesses, unlike retail locations, can reach customers all over the world.

An essential part of operating an online business is providing customers with a secure payment option to order products directly from your website. In order to proceed with online processing, you need online credit card processing. Providing the customers with an Internet merchant account and credit card payment gateway can assist them to purchase goods online anytime, anywhere. Customers who order online are often repeat online shoppers and are aware of the risks associated with online purchases. Online customers often look for validation that they are entering their personal information into a secure payment gateway.

Wireless Program

In the past, mobile merchants had to rely on cash or checks to complete a transaction. While effective, many business owners have begun to realize that only taking cash or check has their downfall. Cash limits the sale to the amount that the customer has on them. With checks, a business owner is out of luck if they have already provided the service or product and the check bounces.

New and improved technology has made credit card processing for mobile merchants secure, easy and affordable. Mobile merchants can now enjoy the ability to obtain instant authorizations on credit card processing. Credit card processing equipment for wireless processing is small, compact and easy to use. Premier offers a variety of wireless terminal options that process real-time transactions by utilizing devoted networks for wireless credit card processing, which can transmit and receive date faster than most cell phone networks. Wireless terminals are perfect for high-traffic restaurants, taxicabs, limousine services, catering businesses and trade shows.
