  • Getting Started

    How do I apply for Intuit Merchant Service?

    The application is easy to complete and submit. The application process takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

    What will I need to apply?

    You will need the following information about your business:
    Business information (tax ID, physical business mailing address) Owner/principal information (contact and identifying information) Account information (bank account information, funding information) Estimated credit card sales and existing credit card processing information
    (if applicable)

    How long does the application-approval process take?

    Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by our credit underwriting department. In most cases, you will receive a decision on your application within two business days (often quicker). We will contact you via e-mail with a decision. Occasionally, a business will be asked to supply additional information in order for us to arrive at a decision. After receipt of any additionally requested information, you will be notified of a decision within one to five additional business days. Upon application approval, your new merchant account must be activated at the bank and throughout the credit card processing network. This takes up to two more business days. You will receive another e-mail notifying you when your account has been activated. Once your account has been activated, you can start processing credit cards.

    Which credit cards are accepted?

    Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover® Network, and JCB.

    How can I charge customers on a recurring basis with Intuit Online Terminal?

    Under the Processing Tools menu you can select to set up a recurring payment. By specifying the customer, payment method and desired dates, you can charge your customer's credit card and avoid the hassles of remembering to request and enter payments you accept from them on a regular basis. This is a great solution for businesses with memberships or weekly/monthly fees or dues. Note that you must first gain authorization from the customer. The authorization form is available on the page where you specify the payment details.

    Do I need to buy the card reader?

    No, the card reader is optional. You may key-enter credit card numbers if you choose. Your transaction can, however, qualify for lower discount rates if you swipe cards instead of key-entering them. Cost: $69.95. Call 877-683-3280 to order.

    Can I keep my existing bank account?

    Yes, you can have your credit card payments deposited into any business bank account that accepts electronic funds transfers.

    My business is located outside the United States. Can I still use Intuit Merchant Service?

    No, only U.S.-based companies with a U.S. bank account can use Intuit Merchant Service.
