- Do I need a merchant account?
-
Absolutely! If you want to accept credit card payments, debit card payments, or other forms of money like taking payments online, you 100% need a merchant account to do this. It's basically a special business bank account that’ll allow you to process all transactions and then receive the funds from customer payments into your main business account. Don’t panic, though.
