ICorp specializes in online commerce applications - as a result, our specialized services are superior to other online ordering systems, plus the redundancy of servers means more reliable, more secure performance. It's better to have a separate, dedicated set of servers just to handle the order processing as we have. While there are options to the VOE available where you can automatically authorize credit card transactions, by default, the customer's billing information is kept confidential and is between the customer and the merchant. The VOE simply automates the process of handling the customer's order, collecting appropriate billing information, and fowarding it to the merchant.

You will need to have an account already set up. We do not establish accounts with payment processors, nor do we actually collect credit card payments. This is a basic prerequisite for all businesses wishing to accept credit cards whether they do business on or off-line. It is unethical and illegal in most areas for a company to process credit card transactions for a separate business venture. Be wary of any company who will use their own merchant account to accept payment for someone else's products and services - this is almost always a violation of the financial institutions' merchant agreement.
