Should you choose to investigate payment processing on your own; below are some of the key terms used in payment processing and itís very important that you know them in order to protect yourself if you are looking into opening merchant accounts for your internet gaming company.
• Merchant Account
The traditional way to accept credit and debit card payments. Opening a traditional merchant account usually involves a credit check, deposits and purchasing or leasing a terminal to process payments. If you are interested in opening a merchant account, start by contacting your local bank, then compare with other services you can find online.
•Transaction Fee
The rates you will be charged each time you process a sale. Be sure to look for any hidden expenses that may not be obvious when checking rates. The fee may involve a percentage of the overall sale, a one time fee per sale, or both.
•Charge Back
If a online gaming consumer contacts their credit card company to dispute a sale and the claim is found to be legitimate by the credit card company, you may be forced to pay the money back. To reduce your liability in charge backs, keep a shipping record/receipt stating where you shipped your merchandise for each sale. It's also a good idea to only ship to the same address as the cardholder.
•Reserve
Alternative processors may hold a percentage of your sales for a time period in the event of charge backs from online gaming customers. For example a processor may hold 15% of sales for 6 months. If there are no disputed sales in that time period, you will be paid the withheld money.
•Payment Schedule
When you will be paid for payments received by your processor. There are many ways you can be paid including direct deposit, check and sometimes even a deposit in your credit card account.
