When you're operating an online business, you want to have the ability to accept debit and credit card payments. So you’re going to need a reliable payment solution. In previous episodes, you’ve heard Maria talk about third-party processors like Stripe, PayPal, and ClickBank vs. merchant accounts and which is the best option. It's also a good idea to have a backup merchant account, even if you're already using Stripe or PayPal, to safeguard your business in the event that one of your other accounts gets suspended.

Getting a merchant account can be tricky, especially if it’s your first time. Payment processors use a variety of criteria to determine whether to approve a merchant account or not. So tune in to this episode to learn how to navigate the merchant account application process and increase your chances of getting approved.

“Getting a merchant account should not be painful. If you do it correctly, you can get through it quickly. ”
