HostGlobe takes pride in partnering with the industry's most reputable merchant service provider: Cardservice International. 

Cardservice International is a one-stop shop concerning merchant accounts and e-commerce gateway processors. You will find that they have an excellent customer service department which will be able to answer any questions that you may have, and will help walk you through the setup process. Whether you already have a merchant account and want to upgrade to an e-commerce-enabled provider, or if you're just starting out, Cardservice International will walk you through every step of the process to get your e-commerce storefront online as soon as possible. Just call one of HostGlobe's sales staff, and we'll put you in touch with one of Cardservice International's e-commerce specialists.

After contacting Cardservice International for an e-commerce-enabled merchant account and payment processor, the time it will take to process and approve your account can range from five to 10 business days, depending on how quickly you respond with needed information.

The account costs will vary depending upon which services you desire. But generally, you will find the following cost structure:

Set-up fees: $0 - $250
Monthly fees: $25 - $40
Discount Rate: 2% - 3%
Monthly Minimum: $15 - $35

Please note that when you use the services of Cardservice International, you will only pay one fee, even though you may have both a merchant account and a payment processor account (through either Signio, CyberCash, or AuthorizeNet). Cardservice International will manage your payment processor account for you. This means only one bill, fewer hassles, and a simplified registration process. This one-stop service is what attracted HostGlobe to this quality service provider.

Once your merchant account is ready and your payment processor gateway access is registered, you will be assigned the following: your payment processor provider, your account password, and account ID number(s).

If your e-commerce account is set up by Cardservice International, your payment processor will be one of the following three companies: Signio, CyberCash, or AuthorizeNet. These three firms are the most trusted and respected gateways in the industry.

To set up online processing on your ShopSite® shopping cart, go to the payment setup section of the software, choose your previously assigned gateway provider from the drop down menu, and enter your assigned numbers. That's it!
