[Asterisk-biz] credit card payment

[Kenneth Shaw]

Herman,

Anyone can get a merchant account. It's not hard. Living outside of the
US, however, makes it a little difficult. If you're selling to American
Citizens, you're going to need a US merchant account. If you need an <a
href="http://www.highriskexperts.com">international merchant account</a>
we can help you with that. 

>From experience, I can tell you that if you're doing less than
$10,000/month in the US, anyone can get approved for a merchant account
from First Data with decent rates. You need to talk to a reseller that
can assist you with this.

Email me offlist and I can help you get in touch with our merchant
services department here at ExpiTrans.
