What is the easiest way of setting up a merchant account so I can accept credit cards on phone ?
I work at home and sell some hardware, some of my customers wants to pay me through there credit card instead of check.
How can I accept credit cards on phone and process it to my bank ?
1) I know setting up any merchant accounts with banks is a tedious process. Is there any basic 3rd party service which can accept credit cards payment for me online and then pay me, with a minimal fees ?
2) During this transaction does my customer see my name or the 3rd party credit card service name on there credit card statement ?
3) Does the 3rd party who will accept credit cards on my behalf will have to know what kind of services or goods I am selling to my customer ?

I've been using Telecharge for 10 years…You can punch in all the info over the phone with their 800 number…so you don't have to buy special equipment.
The statement reads: Telecharge - Then your name
