An SEO merchant account is a type of merchant account designed specifically for businesses offering search engine optimization (SEO) services. Unlike standard merchant accounts, these accounts are tailored to the unique needs and risks of the SEO industry – recurring billing, intangible deliverables and longer service fulfillment periods. SEO merchant accounts allow SEO companies and SEM agencies to securely accept credit card payments from clients, manage subscriptions and handle chargebacks.
