Acceptance of bank card transactions via POS in possible only for entities that are incorporated in Bulgaria as the banks are very strict when it comes to providing online payment system (merchant account – virtual pos) to its clients.
How will a merchant account support your business?
Often clients do not dispose of cash at the moment of purchase. Most of them, however, have bank cards, which they carry along all the time. The POS terminal provides yet another way of payment and, thus, it will boost the sales.
Payment via a bank card is also more convenient not only to the client but to the merchant as well – the physical counting and giving back change is eliminated. There is also enhanced the security of payment – the danger of paying with counterfeit banknotes is avoided.
Accepting payments via bank cards will also improve your accounting – the servicing bank will provide you with regular monthly (if necessary, weekly or daily as well) reports on the executed transactions.
What are the relations between a bank and a merchant?
In order to accept payments via bank cards, the merchant needs to sign an agreement with a licensed processing bank. Banks serve as intermediaries in the client-merchant payment process. This is the case since the electronic transfer of funds between the buyer’s and the seller’s accounts requires authorization, clearing, settlement, and accounting, while the issuance and acceptance of card payments is subject to licensing rights. Nowadays, merchant account or virtual POS in Bulgaria is one of the best way to offer goods via e-shop.
