"I’m a creator with a unique product & when I travel I’m not able to give each of my customers the one on one personal touch or connection when selling a piece of art. Merchant Advisory Services' payment app allows me to streamline every individual product with a QR code, so I can display my designs to consumers as if they were buying from me in person at a gallery show. We love it."
Mikal Hameed
Merchant Advisory Services helped us set up our ecommerce website super fast and we were up and selling faster than we expected. We didn't even realize that we could sell our products on Instagram just by tagging the products in a post until they showed us how. Now we can just focus on selling everywhere online, even TikTok & Instagram."
Hisako Koike
"Merchant Advisory Services saved us ton of money every month and we were able to take payments from our website as well as in the studio. It really comes in handy to manage all of my customer's payments in one place. The payment app helps me when I sell at pop-up events & I need to have my staff on site take payments from customers. It's so simple to use and I appreciate getting paid the very next day, everyday"
Liana Robinson
"Merchant Advisory Services set up our POS right away and we received our deposits the very next day which really helped us tremendously when we were just getting started. It really helps to let customers pay with a QR code at the counter.
It's so cool & customers just love it. "

WHAT ARE MERCHANT SERVICES?
In short, merchant services allow your business to accept card payments from your customers. This is otherwise known as credit card payment processing. Our platform was built to address all of your payment processing needs.
WHAT IS A MERCHANT ACCOUNT?
A merchant account is where transaction money “sits” until it reaches your business bank account. It is the “middle man” between all the different parts of the card payment process and therefore allows money to be securely transferred from your customers’ payment card and cleared into your bank account. This is not a typical bank account for merchants because you are unable to access anything directly. If you are planning on accepting credit or debit card payments, a merchant account is a necessity.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A MERCHANT ACCOUNT?
Unlike a normal bank account, this is a holding account for transaction money during the processing of payments
The merchant account works directly with card networks, card processors and card issuers to clear transactions in your bank account. Merchant accounts are provided by acquiring banks. You sign a contract which covers different costs such as card processing fees. The account comes with a unique merchant ID for your business. You receive an extra layer of security to your card payments.
WHAT ARE INTERCHANGE FEES?
Understanding the importance of interchange fees, what they mean, and how they relate to your business is crucial for businesses considering a merchant account. Also known as interchange rates or pricing, these fees are charged to the merchant by a credit card processor (such as CardConnect), and must be paid in order for the merchant to accept credit card payments. These rates are set by the card associations and the card-issuing banks.
WHAT IS INTERCHANGE OPTIMIZATION?
There are hundreds of interchange cost structures available, which is where interchange optimization can really help your business find the best rates available to maximize on credit card processing savings. Interchange optimization is based on industry-specific program requirements created by the major card brands (MasterCard, Visa, AMEX), and ensures that your business qualifies for the best interchange rates in every transaction that you process.
