Internet Merchant Account & Payment Gateway
Payment Gateways: Your Internet Merchant Account & PayPal
If you’re selling on the web, you need ways for customers to pay for goods and services. There’s a simple rule of thumb: the more ways to pay, the more sales are made. People want options and as a site owner, it’s easy enough to provide your customers with numerous payment options.
PayQuake Internet Merchant Account

The ability to accept credit cards is essential to site success. But setting up a traditional merchant account with Master Card, Visa, Discover and other plastic payment methods is pricey. There are set up fees, maintenance fees, gateway fees, and a percentage of each sale goes to the merchant account provider. This is typically too much for the small site owner to absorb.
PayQuake has made setting up am internet merchant account as easy as filling out a form. The company also offers three tiered pricing plans so you only pay for those services you’ll actually use. In fact, everything about PayQuake is designed with the small site owner in mind.
payQuake Lite – All the benefits of PayQuake at a fraction of the cost
PayQuake’s entry-level internet merchant account is called “payQuake Lite” with benefits just perfect for the new site owner.
- With the Lite plan there is a minimal setup fee of $9.95 – typical setup fees can run as high as $129 for start-ups.
- Instead of a monthly fee you only pay a “monthly minimum” of $9.00. By having a "monthly minimum" as opposed to a monthly fee you are guaranteed to have a FREE merchant account as long as you process the minimum amount!
- Each merchant account approval comes with a FREE authorize.net account. Authorize.net enables you to verify credit card information before you ship. And Website Source sets up your account free.
- PayQuake charges just 40¢ per transaction so 100 sales = $40. Very good pricing.
Finally, the Pay for Play discount rate is 3.49%. So, when you add it all up, this inexpensive, pay-as-you-go package is ideal for start-up sites on very tight budgets. And that’s just about all of us.
