How do I apply to accept credit cards?

---

To accept credit/debit cards through Farmigo, you need a Merchant Services Provider AND an Authorize.net gateway account. You may use any merchant provider/processor you would like as long as they are compatible with Authorize.net. We recommend using EVO Payments as we have negotiated great rates with them.

Cost of Accepting Credit/Debit Cards

The cost of accepting credit/debit card payments via Farmigo will vary depending on which Merchant Provider you select.  As an example, we have listed below the fees that EVO charges as a Merchant Provider in order for you to accept Visa and Mastercard in the United States.  You will also need to pay the fees outlined below for the Authorize.net gateway in addition to fees paid to the Merchant Provider.
