MeritCard Announces a Partnership with VividHosting to Allow Small to Medium Sized Businesses to Create an Effective E-commerce Solution

MeritCard Solutions today announced a new simplified credit card processing solution designed for millions of businesses that utilize the Internet to accept payments. Through a partnership with Vivid Hosting, MeritCard is able to support the processing needs of new or existing businesses that apply for Web Hosting services.

Dallas (PRWEB) July 23, 2008 -- "The e-commerce industry is ever changing and we felt the need to partner up with a company that shared the same business values we do. Our partnership with MeritCard is much more than a company to refer business too but a relationship that is going to help both companies offer products and services that will benefit our mutual client," says Nick Baken, President of VividHosting.com.

Previously, small and medium sized businesses have found themselves buying a processing solution that over-served their needs, resulting in high set-up costs, monthly minimum fees and inflated transaction fees. "Our relationship with VividHosting allows MeritCard to package a credit card solution for businesses that results in simple solutions and making payments easy," comments Chris Shultz, Chief Operating Officer at MeritCard.

Making Business Simple
As businesses make the move to develop a web presence for their products and services, many still struggle with the multiple facets of creating a complete e-commerce solution. "Businesses and consumers are looking for a one stop shop for their e-commerce needs and MeritCard completes that piece of the puzzle for us. Our mutually innovative vision is going to allow our respective clients to bear the fruits of our ways. We are extremely excited at the opportunity and look forward to leveraging our relationship moving forward," says Mr. Baken.

MeritCard merchant solutions will be incorporated into all business dealings when e-commerce and other forms of credit card processing are required by a client of VividHosting. With the partnership, a further streamlined and less convoluted approach is going to provide fewer roadblocks for current and future customers when setting up merchant card processing for their respective businesses.

"E-commerce is the future of our industry and we're excited to partner with a company that shares our passion and vision for the support and service of our customers," says Shultz of MeritCard.
