Getting Started with Beanstream

Our goal is to provide our customers with the best valued services backed by exceptional support. To ensure that our relationship is positive and rewarding right from the beginning, we'll guide you through the application and implementation process with a few easy steps.

First Steps

First, if you plan on accepting credit or debit cards then you will need a merchant account. You can acquire your merchant account through a bank or through Beanstream. A merchant account is a special type of bank account that allows you to process credit and/or debit card payments. You need a separate merchant account for each type of card you wish to accept and each currency you wish to settle in. If you have a retail store and already have merchant accounts, you will still need to obtain new ones for processing payments received over the Internet.

Many banks require security deposits in order to obtain a merchant accounts. Beanstream does not require a security deposit and in many cases can process an application within days. In addition, we provide the flexibility of having all of your payments deposited into a single bank account to minimize your banking costs.  Beanstream offers US and CDN dollar Visa and Mastercard merchant accounts. When you obtain a merchant account from Beanstream, your company name appears on the credit card statement and you receive a unique bank issued account! We do not factor merchant accounts and our services comply with all current Visa and Mastercard regulations.
