Merchant Account Setup Information
November 20, 2016
Every Membership Organization Should Have a Merchant Account in Place
-
- The merchant account will allow non-members to join and pay online from your website.
-
- Existing members are able to renew using a credit card.
-
- Your online store and ad sales system will accept immediate payments.
-
- Additionally your event registration system will allow members and the public to register and pay online for their registration.
-
- Chambers that activate the merchant account see increased cash flow and faster payments.
We highly recommend using Fair Commerce who will set you up with an Authorizenet account because it is the most flexible of all options. If you are a smaller Chamber and would like a simple solution, PayPal works great too!
o RECOMMENDED - sign up for a Authorize.net* Account
*Ideal for Chambers of Commerce who are looking for the most flexible merchant account. From automated month-to-month membership dues billing, to taking electronic checks, this is the best merchant account choice from our point-of-view.

Chambers' looking to offer monthly dues billing now or in the future will be mush better off with an Authorize.Net account. The big problem with PAYPAL MONTHLY BILLING is being able to initiate, track and record payments as they occur. With Authorize.Net and CIM, we can do that.
New members, annual renewals and event registration and payments work fine... this cautionary statement is mainly for Chambers who think they will offer "monthly" dues options now or later.
