Simply Stated - Credit Card Processing Services

Home Based, MoTo, & Internet Businesses

While many banks and major processors shy away from these types of businesses, Credit Card Processing Services approves well over 98% of these legitimate businesses.

We recognize that with large companies downsizing, incomes stagnant, and the American entrepreneurial spirit alive and well that many of you have started businesses in your basement, in your spare bedroom, or from your kitchen table.

As long as your company has a legitimate product or service our processing banks can approve our business to accept the major credit cards. CCPS proudly represents several processors who are friendly to home based, mail order, and Internet businesses.

Depending upon your specific needs we will place you on the program that we believe is the best for your product or service. That way you can be sure that you will receive the best discount rate possible.  

Your service will include Address Verification Service (AVS) which will increase your comfort level in shipping products to customers you will never meet in person. Performing address verification is required by both MasterCard and Visa for mail order and Internet merchants and by failing to perform AVS your transaction will be downgraded, which will result in a higher discount rate for that particular sale. It is simple to perform AVS and only adds a few seconds to each sale. In addition to AVS all of our programs allow you to check the CVV2 code which is an extra security measure to protect the merchant. The CVV2 code is the 3 digit code on the back of all MasterCard and Visa cards or the 4 digit code printed on the front of American Express cards. This extra level of protection helps to alert you regarding possible customer fraud because the only real way that a customer would know these numbers is by having the card physically in their hand.

Our most popular program for home-based merchants is the Authorize.Net Merchant Account Program. Authorize.Net is the leading gateway and virtual terminal in the United States. The virtual terminal allows you to manually key sales in that you have received either in-person, over the Internet, via fax, or through the mail. In addition, if you have a website that sells products Authorize.Net can integrates with all of the major shopping carts so that you can accept orders and process credit cards in real-time.

We are excited that one of Credit Card Processing Services home-based merchants was featured in the Home Inc. section of the April 1997 edition of Entrepreneur Magazine. It described how Mr. Greenlee of JWG Enterprises tried to get merchant status but became frustrated when several large banks turned him away. It wasn't until he was referred to CCPS  that he had his service within one week and his sales increased 25%.
