For many years, online merchant account services were all but irrelevant for smaller or less traditional businesses. After all, in an age when consumers did not feel safe using their credit cards online, few but the biggest, best-known companies needed to consider offering the option. As businesses and the public alike have noted, however, that situation has changed dramatically in the last few years.
Thanks to recent advances in digital encryption and other e-commerce security measures, consumers have finally become confident in paying by credit card all over the Internet. As is so often the case, in fact, consumers' willingness to do so has all too rapidly evolved into an expectation that they will be able to do so. Companies that cannot meet these changing needs face a far darker future than they might have imagined.
