prepare for setting up a merchant account.
A merchant account is a specialized type of account that allows a business to accept
credit card payments. Credit card companies like Visa and MasterCard require setting
up a merchant account because it provides financial responsibility on a more stable
institution such as a bank rather than on an unpredictable business.

Sage
Payment Solutions is one of only a few payment processors to offer merchant
account origination. This gives you a tremendous advantage in that your hardware,
