  • 7 Best Tools for Providing First-Rate Customer Service
    "People used what they called a telephone because they hated being close together and they were scared of being alone." Chuck Palahniuk could be right and wrong! In the world of e-commerce, the telephone could be the single most important tool next to your car keys. An online merchant will not exist and survive in the cutthroat world of online business without key customer service tools.
  • Best Tips to Avoid Frozen Accounts with Your High Risk Merchant Account Provider
    In the world of online sales, there are a lot of things written on the page but are left unread between the lines. In other words, you go about selling your products and services but there are lots of things high risk merchant account providers don't tell you. Not because they could not or would not, but because they would not discuss the issues with you until you have experienced them. A good example is going through possible freezing of your merchant account.
  • Get Listed or Get Shot: The High Risk Merchant's Guide to Advertising Online
    Six decades ago, thousands of people who were found on a rich German businessman's record book were brought out from Auschwitz and into a quasi- World War 2 bullet manufacturing company not to work, but to have their lives saved. Fast forward six decades again, and we are into the the same dog-eat-dog world where online content is king. The question is, have you had yourself listed lately?
  • High Risk Merchant Account Tips on IP Detection
    Any high risk merchant should be aware, if not become thoroughly an expert, of all the technical aspects of credit card transactions. Let's face it, doing business online is taking risk a hundred times more dangerous than doing business the brick and mortar fashion. Smart merchants would never plunge headlong into online ventures without a good, working knowledge of the loopholes of the billing process via credit cards.
  • High Risk Merchants' Black Book Guide on Building E-Commerce Websites
    Building an e-commerce website is a simple task that requires the help of a good programmer. High risk merchants must decide which factors they will need to prioritize and incorporate in the website. Web copy, layout and other visuals, e-commerce elements, marketing elements, and customer service tools are some of the basic elements you need to consider in building a website that sells.
  • High Volume Merchant Account : Is It Worth Acquiring One?
    I feel a need to go back to the basics. After years of hearing the phrase high volume merchants, I still encounter some perfectly running businesses who have not acquired their own high volume merchant account. When I tell execs about the possibilities it offers, they say they will consider applying for one. It seems to me that these businesses have reached their equilibrium, and at this point wish nothing but to maintain it.
  • Homemade Remedy for Download Theft
    Many online sellers aren't bothered so much by copyright infringement as they are of losing money by theft of their online products. Most popular among these is the e-book. Guess we already know why those who are selling e-books are considered high risk merchants: the sole fact that the e-book they are selling can be easily downloaded for free (without being dubbed "freeware" or "shareware") makes them vulnerable to frauds and chargebacks in the long run.
  • How To Tackle Your E-commerce Shipping Issues
    E-commerce shipping is obviously a lot more complicated if you're a high risk merchant. One, because it may involve shipping goods overseas. Two, because you may be selling intangible products such as e-books. When this happens, the risk of returns and frauds are even higher.
  • Insider Tricks to Successful High Risk Merchant Account Application
    Many merchants complain about the lack of information when it comes to high risk merchant account application. It's not that there's no information at hand; it's more likely because merchant account providers do not give standard customer service or are simply too lazy to share the nuts and bolts that the applicants need.

    Merchant account applicants may find the tricks of the trade in order to succeed in submitting application for their offshore account.
  • OsCommerce for High Risk Merchants: The Good, The Bad, and The Possibilities
    Just because osCommerce is the most popular merchant account software doesn't mean it's the best solution for your online business. Agree or disagree? Do you find osCommerce to be overrated? A lot of high risk merchants adopt osCommerce as their primary merchant account solution because of so many advantages. But, knowing osCommerce is open source (hence the name), there will always be loopholes before merchants can actually find it functional for their specific business needs.
  • Pawn Shop Merchant Account: Why Should You Get One?
    One encouraging thing about building an online pawn shop is that you get more exposure and thus more chances of earning good income. The Internet is fraught with advertising possibilities and cutting edge technology to assist you in your business. For example, whether you are a start up online pawn shop or already have an established store processing high volume of credit card transactions monthly, acquiring a high risk merchant account can be a big help in your business.
  • Streetsmart Tips In Choosing Your Online Shopping Cart
    Finding the perfect shopping cart for your online business is time consuming, if not too daunting. Merchants must acquaint themselves with the types of shopping carts in the market as well as test and experiment with their capabilities. It's important to choose the cart that will be flexible so that if a merchant changes his business' marketing plan a year later it will still be functional.
