Hello,

I have a web hosting business and have just begun offering a simple shopping cart program to my customers. My question on merchant accounts is this: can I just get one and let all my customers process under this or do each of my customers have to have their own merchant account? Would my customer set this up the with merchant account providers himself or would that be something I would do? All insight appreciated.

You cant take transactions for other people
thats illegal
its called factoring.

Mastercard and Visa will hunt you down.
You will be black listed from every merchant on the internet.


Not to scare you or anything.

:D


Each person must have their own merchant, and take transactions for themselves.
