What is the purpose of this?
Every organization regardless of status (corporation, sole proprietor, non-profit, LLC, etc.) is required to complete a merchant application in order to be legally eligible to accept card type payments. Merchant agreements are mandated by legislation and the card brands to protect organizations and ensure the processor follows all of their obligations outlined in the contract (ie. price certainty mutually agreed upon, method of receiving payment, ensuring the proper bank account is used for an organizations deposits, etc.)
What is needed from our organization to get set up?
A card acceptance form contract is needed to get set up. This includes information on the organization as well as information to verify the identification of the individuals signing on behalf of the organization. These measures are in place to protect all parties involved.
We are a non-profit and not an individually owned corporation.
This is a common question that arises from non-profits and we are glad you asked. Regulatory requirements and the card brands who enable processors to allow clients (regardless of organizational status) to accept credit cards require that a mutual agreement is put in place. This requires information on the organization (ie. address, tax id, non-profit status, etc.) and id verification for the individual(s) at the organization to ensure the individual signing on behalf of the organization is a real person who has the ability to sign on behalf of the organization. Even though an id check and address verification are required for this, this does not legally bound the individual, it is simply a verification to prove the individual has signing authority at the organization. This is a requirement with all processors as part of anti-money laundering and KYC (know your customer) measures that is compulsory for all to follow.
