Creating A Merchant Account (Step 1)

* Tip – When filling out the application, if you put your mouse over the title of a field, a description will pop up.

 

• Business DBA Name is your School Name.

• Business Contact should be the main person who will be managing the Store 4 Schools Software.

• Ownership Type – If you choose Tax Exempt, you will be required to submit a 501 c3. If you don’t have access to a 501 c3, then we recommend that you select private corp.

• Business Start Date – This should be the approximate date the School was founded.

• IRS Reporting Type – You should only need to check Check Taxpayer ID No.

• Description of Products or Services – We default School Supplies, but feel fee to modify this section to represent what you actually sell.

• Suggested Description – This is the display name for charges on the customer credit card statement. For example (Orange view Snack-bar).

• Business Location – Choose Other for a School Setting.

• Zone – Unless your School is in a Business zone, we recommend you choose Residential.
