To stay competitive in today’s market, selling online across borders is essential.
But accepting payments for online business is not a side issue when you operate globally and requires a currency conversion, tax regulation, compliance management, and fraud control.
This is where a Merchant of Record may come into play.
What is a Merchant of Record?
A Merchant of Record is an online platform that can take responsibility for all liability associated with the payment transaction. When accepting online payment methods, a Merchant of Record is the legal entity responsible of all the various transactions and processes including:
Global Payment Gateways
Collecting Sales Tax
Processing Refunds & Chargebacks
Payment Processing
Anti Fraud Management
Ensuring PCI Compliance
Merchant of Record Model
Businesses can choose to become their own Merchant of Record (MoR) and set up the necessary infrastructure and processes to manage payments and related liabilities. Or alternatively, you can partner with a MoR provider that will manage these tasks on your behalf to minimize eCommerce risks and costs.
Acting as your own Merchant of Record – Challenges you may face
Being your own Merchant of Record is quite possible and many merchants do, especially at the beginning of their business. To securely collect payments, you must, among many other things:
- Open up merchant accounts
- Integrate payment gateways
- Manage contracts with global payment service providers
- Handling payment processing fees
- Taking care of chargebacks
- Comply with PCI DSS standards and other regulations
- Calculate, collect, and remit all taxes
Being Merchant of Record requires time, resources and knowledge on subjects such as payment, VAT, data security and so on to manage the various subjects to be dealt with.
Benefits of Partnering with a Merchant of Record
1. Go global immediately
Localizing your platform and adapting the currency and checkout process can be a long, costly, and complicated process. With an MoR model set up, payment experience will be customized for your customers wherever they may be, locally or globally.
2. A cost effective solution
No need to pay an accountant or a specialist in international taxes. MoR handles all financial and tax-related matters in all the countries in which it operates. Save time and resources to run your business more efficiently.
3. Stay compliant
Considered as an eCommerce legal entity, MoR is also responsible for ensuring compliance with the PCI-DSS, which means that it must always remain up to date on all laws in the countries where transactions take place.
4. Business Accelerator
Facilitate the management of your transactions for a faster time to market. Unlock, accelerate and simplify your payment operations even more.
One of the greatest advantages of partnering with an MoR is not having to worry about tax calculation management and financial compliance handling associated with global payments.
