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. To view some good reasons why you
should trust us to service your eBusiness needs, please

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

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
