What is card not present (CNP) merchant account?
A CNP, or card not present account, is a specific type of bank account that lets merchants accept online credit card payments. This type of bank is called an acquiring bank, and they specialize in merchant accounts that accept payments online, over the phone or by mail.
When a cardholder submits their payment via credit card, ACH check or debit card, as payment for a purchase through your online store, the credit issuing bank either approves or denies their transaction. If denied, a message a appears on the payment page to alert you. If the transaction is approved, the funds are then transferred to your business’ checking account based on your payout schedule.
Challenges of getting a card not present merchant account for your online business
When operating an e-commerce business, there are many obstacles one may encounter including acquiring a credit card processing merchant account. Without a CNP merchant account, your business has very limited options for accepting credit cards online, over the phone or by mail. The main issue is that acquiring banks, those that process credit card transactions, consider your online business to be a higher risk when your customer is not present to sign their receipt in person.
