Having the ability to accept credit cards on-line is key in building your business. The first step is to partner with a financial institution to set up a merchant account. That institution then contracts out with a transaction clearinghouse. The final step involves choosing a gateway. There are three common hardware and software gateways you can choose from during this last step. The first involves a card swipe machine used in traditional retail stores, but Internet businesses generally use desktop software or real-time gateways. The second, desktop software, consists of a system where the merchant manually enters credit card information received via email, mail, or phone. The third and most common is the real-time Web gateway. This complex system processes credit card information in real time while the customer is still on the Internet. When you choose MonsterCommerce to handle your merchant account, we'll walk you through the choices, and you'll begin selling on the Internet quickly and efficiently.

Protecting customer information is extremely important. MonsterCommerce Pro E-commerce software is developed to allow you to choose which specific individuals have access to sensitive financial information such as your customers' credit card names, numbers, and expiration dates. Because designing, building, and maintaining an Internet storefront often involves multiple people including designers and shipping Pro E-commerces, MonsterCommerce has given you the ability to control the access these individuals have through the back-end administration panel. You are capable of giving new and existing users a log-in ID and specific passwords. This way, you can assure ecommerce security for both you and your customers.
