People love to read magazines. Be it online publications or the hard copies whose pages they love to flip through. These magazines are published at regular intervals such as monthly, bi-weekly or even weekly. This means different cycle of payment for different magazines. Not to forget, people subscribe for different periods of time.
When payments keep coming in on a regular basis, you cannot expect all of them to be in cash form. Many of these readers browse online and when they find the magazine they like, they simply hit the subscribe link. Now, the reader doesn’t want to spend much time on the subscription process itself. They would rather spend all that time reading a magazine.
This calls for effective payment processing. When you are in the business of offering magazine subscription or sales, you should be in a position to accept card payments without further adieu. The best solution for your kind of business is a merchant account. An account which can process both credit card and online payments, to enable your customer can get hold of their favourite magazines quickly.
If you have approached banks or other credit card processors or payment processors like PayPal and First Data, you must be aware of how difficult it is to get a merchant account. This is because your business is considered to be high risk. Since the entire transaction and business is done online, without having to meet the customer or the magazine dealer, there is a high level of risk involved.
No one wants to take the risk of losing payments because a customer was billed incorrectly or because a customer clicked “subscribe” by mistake. In such situations, the customer asks for a chargeback and in most cases you will have to give it. What if the credit card used to make the payment was stolen? It is the merchant account that stands to lose. Hence the difficulty to get a well equipped merchant account at a reasonable rate.
Are you new to this industry? Well, that only increases your risk profile and makes it even more challenging to secure a merchant account. If you have been in this business for more than 6 months or so, it will be relatively easier for you to have your application considered. This is because your payment history and the way you deal with complications can be understood and the level of risk for the account provider can be ascertained.
Similarly, it is always more safe to operate domestic accounts than offshore accounts, simply because the risk is lesser. Though offshore accounts are not required for all businesses, they can be a big advantage on saving taxes.
