Yahoo™ Merchant Account

If you are going to sign up for a Yahoo™ Store through their small business solutions, you can choose their merchant account provider or you can choose Cardservice Loud for your merchant account processing needs.  We can usually offer better rates than their partner and we have a higher approval rate than their partners.

Yahoo™ Rates

Yahoo™ does still charge a transaction fee (0.5% - 1.5%) on top of whatever merchant account provider you choose.  You do not need to use Yahoo™ for your e-commerce web solution but if you do, consider Cardservice Loud as your merchant account provider.  They will not charge you any type of set up fee for signing up with a merchant account and using Yahoo™ as your electronic payment gateway.

Yahoo™ Information

Yahoo™ requires the merchant number, a merchant identification number (MID) and terminal identification number (TID).  Cardservice Loud will make sure that you have this information once it is available so you can start accepting orders on your Yahoo™ web store.
