On top of that, many providers charge a monthly fee ranging from $0 to $30. Watch out for additional charges such as PCI compliance fees, gateway fees, and chargeback fees — these can add up quickly and aren't always disclosed upfront.\u003c/p>"},{"question":"What’s the difference between a payment gateway and a merchant account?","answer":"\u003cp>A merchant account is a type of bank account that holds funds from card transactions before they're transferred to your business account. A payment gateway is the technology that securely transmits card data between your customer, your bank, and the card networks. Most modern providers bundle both together, but some (like PayPal or Stripe) act as aggregators, meaning you share a merchant account with other businesses rather than having a dedicated one.\u003c/p>"},{"question":"What’s interchange-plus pricing, and why does it matter?","answer":"\u003cp>Interchange-plus (or \"cost-plus\") pricing separates the base interchange rate set by card networks like Visa and Mastercard from the processor's own markup. This makes fees transparent and easier to compare across providers. The alternative, tiered pricing, bundles these costs together into \"qualified\", \"mid-qualified\" and \"non-qualified\" buckets. This can make it hard to know what you're actually paying. For most businesses, interchange-plus is the fairer model.\u003c/p>"},{"question":"Is my business too small to need a merchant account?","answer":"\u003cp>Not necessarily. For very low-volume businesses, a payment service provider (PSP) like Stripe or Square is often the simpler and cheaper choice, since there's no monthly fee and setup is fast. Dedicated merchant accounts from providers like Dharma or Payline Data tend to make more financial sense once you're processing at least $5,000–$10,000 per month, when the lower per-transaction rates start to offset the monthly fees.\u003c/p>"},{"question":"Why would I choose a merchant account over a payment processor like Stripe?","answer":"\u003cp>With Stripe or similar aggregators, your business shares a merchant account with thousands of others. This makes setup instant, but it comes with trade-offs. A dedicated merchant account gives you several advantages:\u003c/p>\r\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lower rates at volume\u003c/strong>. Once you're processing significant turnover, interchange-plus pricing from a dedicated provider typically works out cheaper than Stripe's flat rates.\u003c/p>\r\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Greater account stability\u003c/strong>. Aggregators can freeze or terminate accounts with little warning if your transaction patterns look unusual. A dedicated account gives you a direct relationship with your processor and more recourse if issues arise.\u003c/p>\r\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Better support\u003c/strong>. Dedicated providers like Dharma or Payline assign you an account manager where Stripe is largely self-service.\u003c/p>"}],"content":[{"blockName":"core/paragraph","attrs":[],"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"\n\u003cp>It probably goes without saying that if you’re a retail business, selling your wares online is essential.

How to accept credit cards online

Namecheap S. | October 22, 2020

18 mins

It probably goes without saying that if you’re a retail business, selling your wares online is essential. Gone are the days of checks, money wiring, and – heavens forbid! – sending money in an envelope as a means of paying for things. Accepting credit and debit cards is a necessary part of doing business online, period.

By allowing people to pay by card, you’re ensuring payments are processed quickly and conveniently. An online service will keep track of purchases and payments, making dealing with any issues as easy as pie. If anything goes wrong, such as a mistaken order or a refund request, you will be able to take care of it in an efficient manner.

Setting up online payment processing doesn’t have to be complicated. There are easy options, particularly if you’re just starting out. Let us guide you through it.

---

How online payment processing works

So, how does the whole process of paying online work? Before we delve into it, here are some key terms you need to know that will come up time-and-time again throughout this article.

• The Merchant

This is you, the person who is selling their goods online.

• Merchant Account

This is an account which accepts money and processes payments on your behalf. It could be from your bank, or an online payment processor, such as PayPal.

• The Customer

The person buying your goods or services.

• The Issuing Bank

The bank that has issued your customer’s credit or debit card, providing them with the money to pay you (the merchant) with.

• Payment Processor

The service that validates your customers’ credit or debit card details and authorizes a transaction.

• Payment Gateway

The checkout page of your website will be linked to your payment processor via a payment gateway. Some payment processors come with a built-in payment gateway, while some are separate (we’ll talk more about that later).

• Processing fees

How much your merchant account charges for each transaction. Some services will also add on monthly fees, setup fees, and other extras.

Here is a visual illustration of how paying for something online via debit or credit card typically works. It may look like quite a long, overly complicated process, but if you’ve ever made an online purchase, you’ll know that it takes just a few seconds.

Here is a more detailed description:

1. At the checkout page, your customer enters their information, either on a secure form on your site or the payment processor’s website.

2. This information goes through the payment gateway which encrypts the data to keep it safe.

3. This data is sent to the payment processor.

4. The customer’s issuing bank is then contacted to approve or deny the transaction (i.e. check if they have sufficient funds).

5. If the transaction is successful, the information is sent back through the payment gateway to your website.

6. Your merchant account is then deposited with the cash.

Options for accepting credit card payments online

Now that you have a basic idea of how the online payment process works, how do you go about setting it up? Typically, you will need an online store set up. Then you will need to think about what kind of processor you’d like to use. There’s a plethora of payment processing services out there and it’s understandable if you aren’t quite sure where to begin with choosing one.

Generally, the online payment processors can be split into two categories: all-in-one third-party payment processors and more traditional merchant account payment processors. The main difference between the two is that with a merchant account you have a direct agreement with the processing bank – which is seen as being more stable – while with a third-party processor you have an indirect agreement with the bank, with the processor acting as a middleman of sorts.

All-in-one third-party payment processors

The kind you choose will be highly dependent on the scale of your business. If you are a smaller business just starting out in the world of online sales, it’s highly recommended that you start out with an all-in-one payment processor. The most famous of these is PayPal, but we’ll be discussing the alternatives more in-depth below.

These kinds of services are typically the easiest to use and have a simple fee structure. They take a short amount of time to set up because instead of having your own personal account (like with traditional merchant accounts) the merchants using these processors all share one large merchant account. This makes an account easy to set up, but also means your activity is under added scrutiny, and out-of-the-blue account freezing and terminations are common with these kinds of processors.

All-in-one solutions are the best solution for small online businesses that make less than $30,000 per month. This is because these providers generally have a flat rate for fees, which end up being more expensive than traditional merchants once you take in over a certain amount.

These providers tend to come with a payment gateway, online virtual terminals where you can set up invoicing and recurring billing, and effective fraud-prevention services, but the downside is if your customer has any issues, they will have to deal with your payment processor’s customer support team rather than with your business directly.

Traditional merchant accounts

The more traditional kinds of online merchant accounts, such as TSYS, Dharma, and Payline Data, are more suited to larger businesses with higher sales volumes. As a pro, they do tend to be more customizable and have specific plans depending on what your business is, so you have more control over how everything works.

These accounts often take a little bit longer to set up, but are typically a bit more stable than the previously mentioned types as a full risk assessment of your business will be made.

However, there are likely to be added costs for essential elements like payment gateways and fraud prevention. Instead of having a built-in gateway, these companies tend to work with separate major payment processors, such as Total System Services, hence the added fees.

Traditional merchant accounts are really only an ideal option if you are a larger business making a large amount of money through card processing each month. If that is the case, the processing fees tend to work out lower with these kinds of merchants, though you will most likely have other monthly fees to consider. It’s recommended you make at least $10,000 in monthly card sales to justify the cost.

Comparison of all-in-one online payment options

As we stated earlier, if you’re a small business with low sales volumes or very sporadic sales, the following payment processing options would be ideal for your company.

PayPal

Around since 1999, PayPal remains the most recognised name in online payments, and its logo is familiar to shoppers worldwide. With a PayPal business account, money earned from transactions is held in your PayPal account until you transfer it to your bank, and you can connect it to all major ecommerce platforms with minimal setup.

For merchants, PayPal currently offers two main integration options.

PayPal Checkout

PayPal Checkout is the standard option for most merchants. Once integrated, customers can pay using their PayPal account details via a secure pop-up without leaving your site.

It comes with Smart Payment Buttons that surface the most relevant payment options to each customer (including PayPal, Venmo (US only), Pay Later, and major credit and debit cards) which can help improve conversion rates.

Pricing — 3.49% + $0.49 per transaction for PayPal-funded payments; 2.99% + $0.49 for standard card payments. No setup or monthly fees.

Pros — trusted, widely recognised name, easily integrated, and works for businesses in over 200 countries.

Cons — requires some developer knowledge to integrate with a custom store, and its pricing has increased since earlier years.

PayPal Complete Payments

PayPal Complete Payments is an all-in-one checkout solution that supports PayPal, Pay Later, Venmo (US), Apple Pay, debit and credit cards, and local payment methods. 

It is particularly good at integrating into platforms like WordPress, and offers multiple payment options. It gives merchants more control over the checkout experience, most crucially, by keeping customers on their site throughout the checkout process. This is a subtle, but crucial element that gives the appearance of a much more professional operation, and reduces friction that can see customers drop out of a checkout process.

Pricing — 2.89% + $0.29 per transaction for card and alternative payment methods. No setup or monthly fees.

Pros — comprehensive payment coverage in a single integration, customers stay on-site, and it includes Pay Later options at no extra cost to the merchant. It also boasts strong fraud protection tools.Cons — more complex to set up than basic PayPal Checkout, and some advanced features require developer assistance.

Square

While PayPal is considered an all-in-one payment solution because you don’t have to mess around with shopping carts and separate gateways, Square actually is an all-in-one solution because you can also create your store using its platform and an easy-to-use drag-and-drop store builder, offering a free personalized URL (though you will need to register the domain through a provider, such as Namecheap) and free hosting.

Pricing

Square restructured its pricing in October 2025, consolidating all business types into three unified tiers: Free, Plus ($49/month), and Premium ($149/month). The rate you pay for online transactions now depends on which plan you're on: 

• Online payments cost 3.3% + $0.30 on the Free plan, or 2.9% + $0.30 on the Plus plan ($49/month).

Pros

Accepts all credit cards, is easy to set up, has a number of point-of-sale (in-store sales) options, and no coding is required.

Cons

Unsuitable for large-volume merchants.

Amazon Payments

Amazon Payments is similar in  process to PayPal, wherein customers can pay on your site using their Amazon login information. Unlike some PayPal options, your customer can conveniently stay onsite while they input their account information. Well-known merchants that accept Amazon payments include Dyson, Monoprice, and Comixology.

Pricing

The processing fee is 2.9% while the authorization fee is $.30, no setup or monthly fees, can vary by country.

Pros

Trusted name, easy to set up with many e-commerce stores.

Cons

Currently only available to merchants in the US, UK, Japan, India, and a range of European countries. Check Amazon Pay's website for the full current list.

Stripe

Arguably the most well-known payment processor after PayPal, Stripe is used by many a big-name business, from Lyft to Pinterest. With a focus on functionality and flexible integrations that suit the particulars of your business model, Stripe comes with an array of tools for developers to play with, which may be intimidating for those without any know-how.

Pricing

2.9% and $0.30 transaction fee, no monthly fees.

Pros

Great developer and marketplace tools, instant currency conversion.

Cons

Targeted at developers, and more expensive to set up with separate e-commerce platforms.

E-commerce platforms

If you’re setting up an online store, particularly as a small business, you’re going to need an e-commerce platform. Some e-commerce store platforms provide everything you need to start an online store, while others you will need to use in conjunction with the previously mentioned payment processors.

Shopify

One of the most well-known e-commerce platforms, Shopify runs over 5.6 million live stores worldwide and holds around 30% of the US ecommerce platform market.

It has a built-in payment processor and payment gateway (powered by Stripe) so you won’t need to set up any separate applications for payments, although you can set up an external payment gateway if you prefer (at an extra cost). There are a number of different payment plans, depending on the size of your business.

Pricing

For the Basic Shopify plan, aimed at those starting a new business, you pay $29 per month. Credit card fees are 2.9% and $0.30 per transaction.

Pros

Easy website builder, a plethora of tools and themes to choose from. Comes with everything you need to build an online store with ease.

Cons

Apps to further customize your store are not free, costs could add up.

WooCommerce

Unlike Shopify which is its own platform in itself, WooCommerce is actually a free WordPress plug-in. Essentially it is a shopping cart you can add to your WordPress site. As of August 2025, WooCommerce holds approximately 33.4% of all tracked ecommerce sites.

It’s open source and completely customizable. You can do whatever you want with it with the aid of free and paid extensions and integrations. It supports the previously mentioned payment gateways (PayPal, Square, Stripe, and Amazon Pay) so you can choose what best suits your needs.

Pros

Easy-to-use (particularly if you’re familiar with Wordpress), great mobile-responsive themes, and one-page checkout option.

Cons

You have to pay for hosting and many of its extensions, more suited to smaller stores.

BigCommerce

Another leading e-commerce platform, BigCommerce hosts 40,000 online stores worldwide. Coming with a plethora of built-in features, it’s considered one of the best options for starting a store online if you are a true web novice. However, it has seen a decline in popularity since its 2021 peak.

Pricing

The standard plan starts at $29.95 per month and 0% transaction fees.

Pros

Pre-integrated with the top payment solutions and gateways, including PayPal, Amazon Pay, Square, and Stripe.

Cons

Not as customizable as other options.

Traditional online merchant accounts comparison

The following online merchant accounts are ideal if you’re expecting a high volume in monthly card sales. Although they have monthly fees, card processing fees are ultimately lower, which balances things.

These merchant accounts tend to fall under two different fee structures: interchange-plus and tiered pricing.

Interchange-plus fees are the percentage of your card processing fees that go not to the merchant provider, but the credit card companies. Issuers such as Visa and Mastercard charge base rates to the payment processor each time one of their cards is used.

With tiered pricing plans, fees will vary depending on what kind of card you use, from credit and debit to corporate cards, and then some. It’s a complicated system and it can be confusing to figure out what kind of bill to expect each month. It isn’t recommended for smaller businesses.

TSYS

TSYS has been around since 1959 and was originally known as a division of Columbus Bank and Trust. It became a public company in 1983 and grew into one of the largest payment processors in North America. In 2018 it acquired Cayan (formerly Merchant Warehouse), inheriting their Genius payment platform. 

Today, it’s an integrated payments platform that was previously branded as Genius, and now operates as part of Global Payments' Unified Commerce Platform. It supports online payments, mobile payments, and more through its payment gateway. It is best suited to mid-sized and larger businesses.

Pricing

Varies by business. It’s worth noting that its rates are not publicly posted, and have seen significant increases in recent years.

Pros

No early termination fee, no account setup or application fees, 24/7 customer support.

Cons

Too expensive for smaller businesses; lack of pricing transparency; has a track record of adding undisclosed fees to monthly statements.

Dharma

Dharma Merchant Services was established in 2008 and is well known for its ethical practices, giving generous special rates and deals to non-profit companies. It provides MC Merchant with its accounts, account access and reporting system that includes a virtual terminal, a customer database, and more. When it comes to gateways, you can choose between its MX Merchant gateway or an Authorize.net gateway.

Pricing

For ecommerce merchants there is a $20 monthly fee, interchange + 0.20% + $0.11 per transaction.

Pros

Transparent and fair pricing, no annual or account setup fee, no early termination fee, good customer support.

Cons

Only good for high-volume, low-risk merchants in the US.

Payline Data

Payline Data (acquired by Pineapple Payments in 2017) was established in 2009. It has standardized packages which makes picking one for your specific business needs easy. Unlike the other merchant accounts mentioned, they provide accounts for high-risk businesses (a high-risk business is one that is seen as being particularly vulnerable to fraud. For instance, adult entertainment, gaming, and gambling would be seen as high risk) although processing rates will be higher. They also offer their own shopping cart which can be easily integrated with your website.

Pricing

There is roughly a $20 monthly fee, and the per-transaction fee is trickier to pin down.

Pros

Easy-to-understand pricing system, no early termination fees.

Cons

Only available in the US.

Choosing the best online payment option for your business

Choosing an online payment processor that’s right for your business will take time and research. Don’t be afraid to take your time and to say no to pushy sales people. Be confident that the services provided are appropriate for your business in terms of what its aims are, its size and what it can afford. For in-depth reviews and comparisons, Merchant Maverick is a great resource

Frequently asked questions

What’s the typical cost to process a payment online?

Costs vary by provider and pricing model, but most online merchants pay somewhere between 1.5% and 3.5% per transaction, plus a small fixed fee (often $0.10–$0.30). On top of that, many providers charge a monthly fee ranging from $0 to $30. Watch out for additional charges such as PCI compliance fees, gateway fees, and chargeback fees — these can add up quickly and aren't always disclosed upfront.

What’s the difference between a payment gateway and a merchant account?

A merchant account is a type of bank account that holds funds from card transactions before they're transferred to your business account. A payment gateway is the technology that securely transmits card data between your customer, your bank, and the card networks. Most modern providers bundle both together, but some (like PayPal or Stripe) act as aggregators, meaning you share a merchant account with other businesses rather than having a dedicated one.

What’s interchange-plus pricing, and why does it matter?

Interchange-plus (or "cost-plus") pricing separates the base interchange rate set by card networks like Visa and Mastercard from the processor's own markup. This makes fees transparent and easier to compare across providers. The alternative, tiered pricing, bundles these costs together into "qualified", "mid-qualified" and "non-qualified" buckets. This can make it hard to know what you're actually paying. For most businesses, interchange-plus is the fairer model.

Is my business too small to need a merchant account?

Not necessarily. For very low-volume businesses, a payment service provider (PSP) like Stripe or Square is often the simpler and cheaper choice, since there's no monthly fee and setup is fast. Dedicated merchant accounts from providers like Dharma or Payline Data tend to make more financial sense once you're processing at least $5,000–$10,000 per month, when the lower per-transaction rates start to offset the monthly fees.

Why would I choose a merchant account over a payment processor like Stripe?

With Stripe or similar aggregators, your business shares a merchant account with thousands of others. This makes setup instant, but it comes with trade-offs. A dedicated merchant account gives you several advantages:

Lower rates at volume. Once you're processing significant turnover, interchange-plus pricing from a dedicated provider typically works out cheaper than Stripe's flat rates.

Greater account stability. Aggregators can freeze or terminate accounts with little warning if your transaction patterns look unusual. A dedicated account gives you a direct relationship with your processor and more recourse if issues arise.

Better support. Dedicated providers like Dharma or Payline assign you an account manager where Stripe is largely self-service.
