A merchant account is a payment tool used by investors who want to open a company in India that allows electronic payments, concluded through local/international debit and credit cards. In order to set up a merchant account, a business relation has to be established between the retailer and a banking institution, as well as a payment processor.
This type of account can be employed by any type of company selling products or services (payments concluded through POS devices) and it is a compulsory requirement for online businesses.
