Merchant Account for EVENT TICKETS, TICKET BROKERS
Many customers are now able to buy tickets online for special events such as sporting events, concerts, musicals, rock shows, amusement parks, and other events which makes it easier for customers as they no longer have to stand and wait in long lines.
Ticket brokers and businesses that sell event tickets depend on online transactions paid via debit card or credit card and need a merchant account to efficiently process payments. However, many businesses in this industry may have trouble trying to get a merchant account because they are considered high risk and may be turned down from banks.
Ticketing online is High Risk Business
Many businesses starting up may be likely to experience being denied or shutoff by other processors like PayPal or First Bank because of the risks within the industry. This can be due to reasons such as chargebacks, scams, and because of the non-face-to-face nature of sales and the possibility of stolen cards being used.
What are the features of the merchant account for ticketing?
Online ticket brokers need a merchant account that is able to accept online payments, processing debit or credit cards such as Visa/MasterCard/Amex/Disover and other means of payment to meet the customer’s needs.
The keys features to look for in a merchant account are:
- Online shopping cart: It is one of the most important features of any ecommerce website because all
- URLs with keywords will ensure maximum SEOs for your services or products.
- The shopping carts also aids in ticket inventory tracking, user ratings, and review reports pertaining to your business, manage customer related issues, manage back end operations and process customer orders smoothly.

You need virtual terminals for credit card processing to make online purchases easy for your customers and to receive payments instantly for you.

- Automated e-mail generator: It is important that your merchant account be capable of sending emails to customers regarding their booking status and payment confirmation. The customers must receive reminders regarding the upcoming event too because remember the time between payment and the actual event is always long.
