Steps to setup a Merchant Account/Payment Gateway (IPS)

  1. You need a checking account somewhere. This does not have to be any special kind of checking account at all. It just needs to be able to accept money transfers electronically (also called ACH or Automated Clearing House). Most checking accounts do this these days as so many people are paying and receiving payments electronically. If you do direct deposit to a checking account your are most likely recieving it via ACH or some other electronic depositing system.
  2. Fill out the application.
  3. Fax it to the number on the application.
  4. Everything else is taken care of for you.
