Are you a new entrepreneur looking to start your first eCommerce business? Perhaps you already have a physical store and are looking to expand to an online store for the first time (maybe because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Either way, you’re a complete eCommerce newbie looking for information on how to get started with online credit card processing.

You’ve come to the right place, as we’ve put together a pretty comprehensive list of the best payment processors for eCommerce to help you get started.

If you already own a physical store and take payment cards, you might be wondering if you can just use your current processor, which probably has some sort of eCommerce offering. Maybe you can, but we’ve found that eCommerce businesses usually have unique needs that not all processors are optimized for. Rates, quality of service, reliability, and other typical online features should all be taken into account when you pick your eCommerce credit card processor. You might also have to make some tradeoffs specific to your type of business for some of these categories.

Fortunately, there are more options than ever when choosing online payment processing companies. Your choices range from traditional merchant accounts to third-party, pay-as-you-go processors.

Keep reading for our list of the top online payment processors. We’ll also talk a little about other general considerations when starting an eCommerce venture.

Let’s get started!

The 9 Best Online Credit Card Processing Companies

While the best online credit card processors for any given business will vary by your needs, these companies collectively offer the most value for your money. These are our current picks for the best online payment services, including CDGcommerce, Helcim, Dharma Merchant Services, and more.

1. PaymentCloud

PaymentCloud	Visit Site Read our Review

Best for high-risk businesses.

Just because your business is high-risk doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have choices. Another great option for businesses in high-risk industries is PaymentCloud. This payment service comes highly recommended by esteemed low-risk services such as Dharma Merchant Services, which refers high-risk applicants to PaymentCloud.

As is usually the case for high-risk payment services, we don’t have access to pricing information in advance. That’s because companies such as PaymentCloud shop your profile around to various back-end processors to get you the best deal that they can. Typically, this means tiered-pricing, monthly minimums, and contracts (at least initially), but you can expect to be treated fairly by PaymentCloud. The company also offers low-risk services at a monthly fee of $15, with interchange-plus pricing.

For eCommerce specifically, PaymentCloud offers a gateway via Authorize.Net or USAePay. You can, however, use any compatible gateway you want. You’ll also get shopping cart integration along with echeck and ACH processing.

2. Stax By Fattmerchant

Stax by Fattmerchant	Visit Site Read our Review

Best for high-volume businesses.

At Merchant Maverick, we give a lot of love to interchange-plus pricing for being both transparent and (usually) cost-effective. But there’s another pricing model that deserves some love, and it’s the one offered by services such as Stax by Fattmerchant. Stax deals exclusively in subscription-based pricing (sometimes called wholesale pricing).

Interchange-plus pricing separates the interchange fees charged by the credit card companies and those charged by your processor; your processor fees are usually still based on a percentage of your transaction (e.g., 0.3% + $0.15).

Subscription pricing still charges you the interchange fee, but your processor fee is just a flat fee. So unlike the earlier example of 0.3% + $0.15 per transaction, it’s just $0.15. You pay a monthly fee based on your processing volume. A set monthly fee makes subscription pricing very cost-effective for high-volume businesses and less so for low-volume. Stax eCommerce fees are $99/month and $0.15 per transaction for businesses doing less than $5 million in sales annually (pricing for merchants processing more than that is quote-based) and anywhere from $49-$129/month for the Stax Pay integrated payments platform, depending on the subscription tier you choose.

While Stax isn’t eCommerce-focused per se, it does offer a free customizable shopping cart, integrations with several of the most popular shopping carts and gateways, and a respectable API for those who want to tinker around with some code.

3. Helcim

Helcim	Visit Site Read our Review

 

Best for an all-in-one platform.

Helcim is our pick for the best all-in-one platform provider because of its Helcim Commerce integrated payments platform. The platform combines the functions of a payment gateway with other ancillary services that you’ll need to run your online business. Helcim Commerce supports recurring billing and includes a customer information database. Tokenization, inventory management, and other features critical to running an online business are also built-in.

Helcim offers payment processing services to US and Canadian merchants. It gives you month-to-month billing with no long-term commitment and no additional cost to close your account. Helcim charges no monthly account fee, no monthly minimum, and no PCI compliance fee. Incidental fees are reasonable and published on Helcim’s website.

Helcim uses interchange-plus pricing exclusively. Processing rates start at interchange + 0.50% + $0.25 per transaction, with significantly lower rates available to high-volume merchants and nonprofits. If you need it, echeck/ACH processing is also available for an additional $25 per month plus $0.25 per transaction.

4. Dharma Merchant Services

Dharma Merchant Services	Visit Site Read our Review

Best for B2B.

We at Merchant Maverick have always liked Dharma Merchant Services. It’s our choice for the best B2B processor not because it’s weaker in other areas, but because of the special discount that the company gives to high-volume B2B merchants (those processing over $100,000 per month).

For eCommerce payment processing, Dharma ordinarily charges interchange + 0.20% + $0.10 per transaction (interchange + 0.30% + $0.10 per transaction for American Express). However, for an extra $15 per month, online merchants processing a monthly volume of $100,000 or more get access to discounted interchange-plus rates of interchange + 0.10 % + $0.10 per transaction (interchange + 0.20% + $0.10 per transaction for American Express). This high-volume plan supports the use of Level II and III processing data for B2B transactions, so it can potentially lower your interchange rates and save you even more money. Dharma charges a flat $20 monthly fee for eCommerce accounts.

As a part of its eCommerce offerings, Dharma uses MX Merchant as its integrated payments platform. This all-in-one service combines the features of a payment gateway and a virtual terminal into a single product. You’ll have access to online reporting, a customer information database, and even a mobile processing app. You can add optional services for an additional fee, such as recurring billing and echeck/ACH payment processing.

5. CDGcommerce

CDGcommerce	Visit Site Read our Review

Best for general eCommerce needs.

CDGcommerce gives you all the standard features you’d expect in an online credit card processing company. While these features might not always be the most advanced available, they’re all very good.

With CDGcommerce, you get your choice of free payment gateways, including Authorize.Net and the company’s proprietary Quantum Gateway. In other words, you should be covered for nearly endless integrations. There are no setup fees, monthly fees, or per-transaction fees for the use of the gateways. You get a virtual terminal at no extra charge as well as detailed online reporting. If you have a physical store, CDGcommerce can support your credit card terminal, countertop POS, or mobile POS as well. It also offers 24/7 phone support.

CDGcommerce uses different pricing schemes, depending on your sales volume. This isn’t a bad thing, as each pricing scheme is well-matched to the volume. For online processing, the Simple plan (monthly volume between $1,000 and $10,000) charges:

• 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, with an American Express surcharge of 0.25%
• There are no other fees — this flat-fee plan is meant to compete with third-party processors but eventually gives you a merchant account

For the Interchange Plus plan (monthly volume between $10,000 and $200,000), merchants get:

• Interchange fees + 0.30% + $0.15 per transaction
• Nonprofits get interchange + 0.20% + $0.10 per transaction
• There’s still no monthly fee

The Subscription plan (monthly volume over $200,000) has several tiers:

• Membership prices range from $49/month to $199/month, each tier capped by processing volume, and the “monthly” membership fees must be paid in one lump sum on a per-year basis
• Rates from interchange + $0.10 per transaction to interchange + $0.05 per transaction, depending on the monthly membership price

6. Square

Square	Visit Site Read our Review

Best for businesses with low-volume brick-and-mortar sales.

Square may be known best for its convenient POS hardware and expansive support software for small businesses, and indeed, that’s where its strengths lie. That said, Square does offer respectable eCommerce support and infrastructure that includes a free online store and shopping cart support. These can be ideal for businesses that are primarily brick-and-mortar but also do a portion of their business online.

Square uses a flat-rate pricing model for all of its transactions. For eCommerce transactions and invoices, Square charges 2.9% + $0.30, which is more or less the standard industry flat-rate fee for online payments. Square gives you a lot for “free,” including its classic magstripe card reader for mobile devices, a payment gateway, and a virtual terminal, but monthly fees are required for some of the meatier software.

Square is a great all-in-one solution for businesses that do a relatively low volume of transactions. And while eCommerce may not be Square’s primary focus, what it offers should be more than enough for businesses that dabble in online sales.

7. Durango Merchant Services

Durango Merchant Services	Visit Site Read our Review

Best for high-risk merchants.

Durango Merchant Services is our top pick for high-risk businesses needing online merchant credit card processing. Unfortunately, it’s far more common for eCommerce businesses to be considered high-risk than it is for traditional brick-and-mortar businesses. High-risk businesses typically have a harder time finding providers that will approve their applications for merchant accounts.

Unlike the other online credit card processing companies featured here, Durango doesn’t advertise any pricing information or contract terms on its website. Because Durango works with so many back-end processors to get you set up with an account, all of these factors will be highly variable and subject to negotiation.

Unfortunately, you should fully expect to pay higher processing rates than a comparable low-risk business would have to pay. You should also anticipate being placed on a tiered pricing plan, although interchange-plus is sometimes available. Don’t expect month-to-month billing, either.

These certainly aren’t great terms. However, in an industry riddled with not entirely ethical service providers, Durango is one of the few high-risk providers that enjoys an excellent reputation for fair prices and contract terms. The company goes out of its way to get you the best (and most affordable) deal possible. It also has a great reputation for excellent customer service and support after you’ve signed up. Durango will assign a dedicated account manager who will be your primary point of contact if you encounter any problems.

8. PayPal

PayPal	Visit Site Read our Review

Best for ease of use.

There’s an easy way to set up an online business, and there’s a hard way. The hard way involves working with APIs that require computer programming skills. The easy way is to add some readily-prepared code to your website yourself. PayPal excels at the latter, offering simple integration of a whole host of payment processing services. That’s why it’s our pick for this subcategory.

It’s easy for merchants to set up a PayPal account. There are no monthly minimums and no other fees in addition to the transaction cost itself (2.9% + $0.30 for online transactions; 2.20% + $0.30 for nonprofits). If you wish to have more services, you can. For instance, recurring billing costs an additional $10 per month, and a dedicated hosted payments page costs $30 per month. You can integrate PayPal as a supplemental option with PayPal Checkout or make it your primary processor.

PayPal offers an entire suite of services directed at online merchants. Along with being able to accept online payments and send invoices, PayPal uses its own gateway, which you can use on a per-transaction basis or by paying a monthly fee. Nonprofits are eligible for a discount and can easily set up a donation button on their site. Merchants with an average transaction size of under $10 can get on a microtransactions plan to reduce their processing costs.

PayPal is by default PCI compliant — it does so by redirecting your customers to its site to complete their transactions. So PayPal merchants usually won’t have to worry about that aspect of payment processing.

9. Stripe Payments

Stripe Payments	Visit Site Read our Review

Best for sophisticated, custom integrations.

Stripe Payments, like PayPal, has reached the point where its name is synonymous with internet commerce. PayPal is easier to use when you’re just starting your eCommerce business. But if you’re planning to use a web developer to design a top-of-the-line, slick-looking web store (and/or adding in-app payment functions), you’re probably better off going with Stripe because of all the tools you can integrate into your platform.

Stripe is open to merchants worldwide with numerous currency options and support for many alternative payment methods and local payment options across North America, the EU, and Asia. You’ll also find a great selection of marketplace tools and recurring billing options. Stripe gives you a gateway, a hosted payment page, PCI compliance, and the ability to migrate your customer data if you ever decide to leave.

Stripe’s gateway is permanently coupled to its payment processing, so you can’t access the gateway or tools without using the company’s payment processing. Also, Stripe doesn’t support a virtual terminal.

Stripe charges just 2.90% + $0.30 per transaction. There’s no monthly fee, no monthly minimum, and no PCI compliance fee. Stripe also offers ACH payments at 0.8% that are capped at $5 per month for ACH debit and $1 per ACH credit payment. However, you will pay small fees to access Stripe Billing, which includes subscription management, recurring billing tools, and Sigma, Stripe’s SQL-based custom reporting system. The cost for these services is reasonable, but the pricing scheme is a departure from Stripe’s earlier flat-rate pricing, where everything was bundled together.

What You Should Look For In Online Merchant Services

Let’s take a look now at some eCommerce-specific issues related to internet credit card processing:

• Pricing: Online credit card sales are all card-not-present (CNP) sales, so they usually cost more per transaction than card-present sales. That said, you’ll still want to pay as little as you can per transaction. Flat-rate pricing is fine for low-volume merchants. Higher-volume merchants should try to get interchange-plus or wholesale pricing. Avoid tiered-pricing if you can.
• Fraud Detection Tools: Given that CNP transactions have higher incidences of fraud, fraud detection naturally becomes more important for online businesses. While most credit card associations have fraud detection tools, it’s not a bad idea to consider additional fraud protection, whether offered as a part of the standard package or available for an extra fee.
• Ease Of Use/Technical Knowledge: You should also consider how easy/hard it might be to integrate a particular processor into your web store. If you’re technologically inclined, you might not be worried about buying a domain, building a website, or loading your products or services onto the site. If you’re not, choose a provider with good shopping cart integrations.
• Merchant Account VS PSP: One of the first things you must decide is whether you should use a traditional merchant account provider or a payment services provider/third-party processor. It takes longer to apply with a merchant account provider, but once you’re approved, you tend to have better account stability. In contrast, you could be approved for processing with a PSP in just a few minutes, but you might have to deal with more frequent occurrences of account holds, freezes, or even terminations in the future.
• Alternative Payment Methods: Credit and debit cards are far from the only payment method for online businesses. Ask yourself whether your customers would prefer to use any alternative methods and consider implementing the ones you think they’d use. ACH processing is relatively common (and popular among B2B companies), but it’s not always offered as part of a standard credit card processing contract.
• Reliability & Customer Support: You should expect both reliability and excellent customer support from your payment processor as well as a shopping cart/recurring billing provider. Check that the available support channels match your preferences. The more reports there are that tell a consistent story, the more likely that is the truth of the experience.

How To Get Started With Online Payment Processing

At a minimum, you’ll need the following three things to sell online.

1) A Payment Processor

eCommerce credit card processors fall into two categories: direct (also called merchant accounts) or third-party (also called payment service providers or aggregators).

It can take longer to set up an account with a direct processor because they investigate your financial stability before approving you. Typically, you’ll need a monthly minimum of $5,000-$10,000 in card transactions to justify a direct processor’s monthly and annual fees. In return, you’ll be at lower risk of mysterious account freezes and holds.

Third-party processors — also known as payment service providers (PSPs) or aggregators — only perform a cursory financial vetting before approving the account. A third-party processor lumps all of its merchants into one large merchant account (hence the term “aggregating”). However, because so little underwriting is done beforehand, the processor analyzes your activities with greater scrutiny afterward, and you are more likely to encounter an account hold or termination, usually with little to no notice.

2) A Payment Gateway

If you plan to sell online, you need a payment gateway. A gateway allows you to accept online credit card payments; you can’t sell online without one. However, the concept of a gateway can become somewhat fuzzy because third-party processors, such as PayPal and Stripe Payments, combine their services with a built-in gateway. Merchant account providers may have their own gateways available for an additional fee, or they may choose to set you up with a third-party gateway (not to be confused with a third-party payment processor).

Recommended Reading: How To Use A Payment Gateway To Process Credit Card Payments

3) A Shopping Cart/Website

eCommerce software (a.k.a. a “shopping cart”) is software used to create a web store. Typically, eCommerce software comes in two forms: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or self-hosted. For a monthly fee, SaaS shopping carts offer web hosting and storage, SSL certificates, and other tools to build and maintain a website. Self-hosted solutions are typically free to download because they are open-source, and they offer a lot of features and customizability — if you have the technical know-how to pull it off.

What To Expect From Online Credit Card Processing Trends In 2021

It’s hard to talk about recent and near-future trends without talking about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, so you may not be surprised to hear that credit card processing has been affected as well. The big change here is that Visa and Mastercard both postponed updates to their interchange fees in 2020. Usually, both companies update their rates twice a year. Changes are expected in 2021 (Visa will probably update rates in April 2021). Rumor has it both companies had planned to raise their interchange fees on eCommerce transactions but held off due to the pandemic-fueled growth in card-not-present transactions.

Nevertheless, online credit card fraud is a growing problem that will likely raise rates in the near future. To combat this, Visa and Mastercard are recommending that merchants use tokenization. If you have the capacity, now is a good time to get ahead of the curve and implement tokenization, as it may affect your rates down the road. Even if it doesn’t, it’ll help you avoid chargebacks and account instability due to fraudulent charges.

Online Credit Card Processing FAQ

Choosing a good online merchant services provider involves more than just finding one that offers you lower processing rates and account fees than the competition. Here are some other considerations you should take into account when selecting a provider:

How To Choose The Best eCommerce Credit Card Processor For Your Small Business

If you want to start an eCommerce business, there is no shortage of excellent online payment processors to help you take card payments. You might be just getting started and need a flexible, pay-as-you-go provider with no minimums. Or you could already have a high volume of transactions and just want a better processing rate or a more reliable processor. Either way, this list is a good starting point in searching for the best credit card processor for eCommerce.

Don’t compare on price alone, though! Be sure to consider all the features you need as well as compatibility with shopping carts and other services you may use in your business. Keep an eye on what features you absolutely must have right now as well as what you would like to have further down the road as your business starts to grow.

Hi Ron,

Sellers who use Magento mostly add payment processors via pre-built integrations. These integrations let you connect your Magento account with a payment solution without doing any development. You can find these integrations for purchase in the Magento Marketplace.

If your favorite payment processor does not have a pre-built integration or gateway available in the Magento Marketplace, you can hire a developer to build a connection on your behalf. Keep in mind that this can be very expensive.

I hope that answers your question!

Best,

Liz
