In addition to your credit card machine, a merchant account is required so that you can receive payments from all major payment cards. Getting up and running with a Tectah merchant account is easy and usually takes as little as 48 hours. We’ll walk you through the application process, which involves providing a few details about your business, including its nature, ownership and location, as well as your expected card revenues and typical transaction values. You can also set up a Tectah payment gateway to begin taking card payments through your website.
