E-Commerce Merchant Account

What is an E-Commerce Merchant Account?

The global expansion of eCommerce has revolutionized the sale of goods and services, with approximately 2 billion people, or 25% of the world’s population, engaging in online shopping. Already, 14% of retail sales involve eCommerce transactions. Facilitating these transactions is the e-commerce merchant account, a specialized bank account for handling credit card transactions from online customers securely. When a purchase is made on a website, funds are transferred from the customer’s bank account to the merchant account via a secure payment gateway. E-commerce merchant accounts enable online merchants to accept credit and debit card payments, while offering additional payment options can further enhance sales. Diversifying payment methods is a common strategy to attract more customers and increase sales opportunities in the dynamic landscape of online commerce.
