Being a web merchant allows your customers to make purchases through your online storefront. There will be no face-to-face interaction. An example of this type of transaction is making a purchase on-line from an e-retailer like Amazon.com.
Accepting credit cards creates legal and financial risk for merchants. It also requires substantial compliance activities. Consider the risks and responsibilities associated with accepting credit cards before moving forward.
