A time-tested truism about comparison shopping is that buying on one factor alone – lowest price, best feature set, simplest contract – is never a wise move. For example, signing up for the merchant account with the lowest discount rate just might saddle you with a contract full of bloated fees, scheduled rate increases or a confusing set of multiple transaction rates.

The fact is, a merchant account provider is only as good as its commitments and its capabilities. When trouble strikes and you can’t get technical support on the line, you probably won’t be reassured by recalling that you have the lowest transaction fee or the best rate. You should calculate the cost of downtime – lost sales, decreased revenue, reputation damage – if you really want to put a number on how valuable a stable, reliable service is to your livelihood.

When choosing among various merchant account offerings, you have to consider what will do your business the most good, overall, and over time. You may end up choosing Merchant Warehouse, or some other reputable merchant services company, but there is no way you can lose if you do your “due diligence” and pick a provider on the basis of “the big picture.”
