Free Merchant Accounts: What's The Catch?
About this episode
If you're a new online business owner who wants to minimize costs, the idea of getting a free merchant account is very appealing. But make no mistake, nothing in business is ever really free. There are always fees associated with processing credit card payments. It's just a question of who pays for it – you or your customers. So be wary of so-called “free merchant accounts”. They can result in business losses in the long run.
As always, you're listening to another value-packed episode. So, take note of the solutions that will help you save money and convert more sales.
“Free merchant accounts do not exist!”
