Customer Service:  

When we contacted Merchant Credit Card we didn't talk to a sales person right away; we left a message and someone contacted us the next day. We called several times and reached the same person every time except for once. That person couldn't give us any valuable information. So, Merchant Credit Card is either a one-man-show or the company needs to better train their customer service representatives.

Merchant Credit Card offers payment gateway services through Authorize.net.
