Virtual terminals:
These are software solutions delivered over the cloud. Often, they can turn iPads, tablets, or computers into portable point of sale systems. You can enter transactions into the system manually, or use a USB connected card-reader.
Online shopping carts:
Merchant service providers and payment service providers can help with your shopping cart software too. Most of the time, your eCommerce site building tool will be the best place to go for shopping cart software.
Merchant cash advances:
If you need extra money to launch your business, then a merchant service provider can sometimes give you access to extra cash. In return, you might give a portion of your earnings back to the company that you borrow from until you repay what you owe.
