About Web Merchant Services

Established in 1997, Web-Merchant Services Limited set out to make taking payments online not just easier, but also cheaper. For a number of years we were the only company in the UK that could provide online merchant services. Even the high-street banks were cynical of online payments until the late 90's, early 2000's. Over this time we have managed to bring together the elements needed to obtain merchant status allowing your business to accept credit card orders from your customers and soon became a leading website development and online payments provider. As well as developing the ability to accept payments online we were the first to develop the virtual payment terminal.

Our success is built on our core values of creativity, development and commitment. By keeping our customers’ desires at the heart of everything we do, we strive to deliver value for money, flexible solutions and excellent customer service.

Accept credit and debit cards directly through your website

  • No Application Fee
    Unlike many companies, we do not charge an application fee. This means it costs nothing, apart from a little of your time, to apply for one of our merchant accounts

  • Easy Application Process
    To sign up for one of our Merchant Accounts you simply apply online. We have designed the application process to be as simple as possible, with 90% of all applications being accepted.
  • Virtual Terminal
    Web Merchant Services provide a web based payment terminal that is a secure, browser-based interface that will enable your business to process credit card transactions

  • Anti-Fraud Solutions
    All accounts come with anti-fraud solutions as standard helping you to avoid fraudsters and tipping you off when a transaction looks suspicious or too good to be true

  • Powerful API's
    We understand that our merchants vary with respect to their needs and requirements. There are numerous ways to integrate your eCommerce website with our Web-Merchant service.

  • Repeat Billing
    The recurring billing tool allows you to create, update, and search for recurring billing records. Once you set up your recurring billing records, we do the rest, processing the recurring transactions for the amount, at the frequency, and over the time period that you specify

Why do we offer three types of account? We have negotiated special terms with a number of acquiring banks. Because of this we provide three types of merchant account. Each account has pros and cons depending on your business, country of incorporation and financial situation so please compare products and services before applying.

By choosing to take advantage of the Web-Merchant service, any would-be merchant will save on charges, have a considerably simpler application process than that offered by the High Street acquiring banks, and have made available to them added value services specially developed by Web-Merchant including the PC Terminal Facility.

 

Web-Merchant is delivering eBusiness solutions to hundreds of clients locally, nationally and internationally. Companies across all sectors and of all sizes benefit from our professional business advice and the delivery of customer specific ICT solutions.

Web Merchants success is built on our core values of creativity, development and commitment. By keeping our customers’ desires at the heart of everything we do, we strive to deliver value for money, flexible solutions and excellent customer service

But what about PayPal or my high street bank?

Fair point! They have been around for some time, so it would seem sensible to use them. For example, PayPal is used by just about every eBayer and is extremely well known. With regards to your high street bank, you use them already so you would think it would make sense to also use them to service your ebusiness needs? Urm, not necessarily... please click here to read more
