• 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!

If you decide to sign up for an Authorize.Net merchant account (preferred), then engineering will need this information to configure this account with your new system:

Client needs to:

Follow the directions in the email they get to complete setup. Once that is complete, they hand it off to us by providing the following information:

• User Name
• Password
• and the Answer to the Secret Question

Once the setup is done we ask client to please change their password and secret question, so that we can no longer gain access to this merchant account.
