Can I accept International payments?

No. You can only accept UK payments with a Nochex Seller Account. If you need to accept international payments, then you will need to apply for a Nochex Merchant Account.

What is the maximum transaction limit?

With a Nochex Seller account you can receive instant card payments of up to £100 from any non-member of Nochex and £300 a day from any full member. If you need to accept individual payments of more than £100 then you will need to apply for a Nochex Merchant Account.

Do I need to have an Internet Merchant Account (IMA) and a Payment Gateway (PSP) to use the Nochex Seller Account?

No, A Nochex Seller Account is a complete, all in one, online payment solution. Nochex is different from other internet payment methods in that it combines the equivalent features of an Internet Merchant Account and a Payment Gateway, rolled into one easy to manage account.

A Nochex Seller account significantly reduces the time, effort and expense of having to have a number of payment service accounts. Just one Nochex account enables you to manage the whole payment process from start to finish, which is why Nochex is fast becoming the most popular and trusted way to accept online payments.

What is the difference between a Nochex Seller Account and Nochex Merchant Account?

A Nochex Seller account is the quick and easy way for new and small businesses to accept online payments, with the least amount of hassle. The application process is carried out automatically (no setup fee) and there is a minimal amount of contact with Nochex.

The Nochex Seller account has a reduced amount of features and functionality, compared to what you get with a Nochex Merchant Account, such as: reduced transaction limits, UK only payments, a fixed transaction rate, email only support. Please compare our accounts more details and to see which account is best for your online business.

How will customers purchases appear on their card statements?

All transactions carried out by Nochex will appear as ‘Nochex’ on your customers card statements. You should make your customers aware that this will be the case at the time of the transaction.

No, not at this current time, we only process online payments, but we are currently looking at this as a future development.

Do you offer a repeat billing functionality?

No, we do not currently offer this at this time.

Which credit and debit cards do you facilitate?

We currently allow you to accept the following credit cards: MasterCard, Visa, Switch, Solo, Visa Debit (Delta) *, Visa Electron, Maestro

* Some older Visa Debit cards may carry the "Delta" logo on the card. They can also be identified by the word "Debit" printed on the front of the card.

Do I need to have a website?

No, but you must have a website that is either fully working, or a near complete, fully functional working version, that is in development and which shows intended products, prices and show a clear indication of how your customers will pay you.

If you are applying as an eBay seller, you must have a very significant amount of transactions (usually at least 100) and an overwhelmingly positive feedback score.

If you have payment links on other people’s websites, forums, blogs emails or other online locations, we must be able to view them so that we can evaluate them.
