I need to create groups of accounts for a company in Tally or other accounting software. I have 2 merchant accounts with different credit card companies. One of them credits my account in their bank and only sends me a statement of amount and commissions - other sends me a cheque after deducting the commissions. - How do I account for such accounts while making entries in to accounting software? Thanks for your time and help.
I appreciate your answer Mr. Soni. My question was for a merchant account where customers pay me using their credit cards and then I receive the amount from credit card company. One directly credits my account with them while the other sends me a cheque. How do I open these accounts - under which group? Thanks again for your time.
If your are asking about the accounting entries, the rules are given below for your reference.
Rule 1
Debit what comes in. Credit what goes out
Rule 2
Debit the Expenses. Credit the Income
Rule 3
Debit the Receiver. Credit the Giver.
A sample entry is given below for payment for XYZ expenses using credit card:-
Dr XYZ expenses Rs 5000
Cr Credit Card a/c Rs 5000
Next, when you make payment (or deposit cheque in your Credit card a/c), the entry would be:-
Dr Credit Card a/c Rs 5000
Cr Your Bank a/c Rs 5000
Remarks:-
1) XYZ expenses ledger to be opened under group "Expenses Indirect"
2) Credit card a/c to be opened under group "Bank OCC a/c"
3) Your Bank a/c to be opened under group "Bank a/c"

Travel agencies are considered a high risk account in the merchant processing industry. You should have all business info available when contacting a processor including federal ID, business financials and history. For a new business, the personal history of the owner(s) is very important, so have all of your ducks in a row and be able to offer your personal financial information to validate the underwriting of your account. A credit score of 618 or below or a recent bankruptcy are examples of factors that will probably send you into high-risk territory and pretty rough rates. If you clear these things you should be in good shape.
Also, be very careful when choosing. Your nature of business will probably accept a high amount of rewards and corporate cards. These cards are considered non-qualified by many processors and are charged a much higher rate (sometimes double) than the low rate you are quoted.
Lastly, DON'T LEASE A TERMINAL or sign a term contract unless you really are in a pinch financially. This is how many processors make their money off of you and you will pay a higher total effective rate in the long run.

There is no one answer I can give to who provides the cheapest rate. To find the cheapest you just have to shop around, and get a few quotes from different processors. If you can get approved domestically then your rates will automatically be around 5% cheaper.

Capital One mass-canceled a number of their credit cards due to a merchant security compromise. They claim this is necessary to protect their account holders from fraud. However, Capital One has yet to release the merchant's name. This merchant is a security liability and should be avoided. Does anyone know who this merchant is? Serious replies only, please don't speculate. Thanks.
Sounds like they have a batch of cards which have a security issue and risk of fraud and so they are protecting themselves against it.
is there a way to bill a credit card if im a small repair shop without a merchant account?
No, however you can set up a paypal account. Then your customer can pay you by credit card to your paypal account. They do charge a small fee for receiving funds.

Best merchant account for accepting CC payments online?
While PayPal is not a traditional bank, it is a very reliable, easy, and not-too-expensive method for accepting credit card payments online.
A traditional credit card merchant account deducts fees from your checking account each month ($25 or more – usually more) while PayPal deducts a percentage of each sale when the transaction is complete.
After many years of allowing merchant accounts to treat my checking account like a piggybank, I’ve opted for PayPal. Perhaps their program will also benefit your business. The link is below.
Outside of PayPal, the bank where you’ve already established a personal or business account will inform you of merchant account options.
