Note: If you already have a PayPal account that you wish to use when signing up through the Payment Wizard or Payment Center, it must be flagged as a merchant account with PayPal. Be sure to use the primary email address on your current PayPal account when signing up for processing. If you have PayPal Checkout enabled and you wish to sign up for PayPal Pro as well, you will want to use the primary email address and same account as your current PayPal Checkout account. If a different email address or account is used, the new PayPal account in your store will not activate. In which case, it will be stuck in a Pending state and you will need to delete it and add it again using the correct email address.

Sign up for and set up an FDMS Nashville-compatible merchant account

Merchant Solutions uses First Data Merchant Services (FDMS) as the payment gateway to process transactions from your store in conjunction with your merchant account. It is only possible to set up a store for online credit card processing with a merchant account that uses First Data Merchant Services (FDMS).

If you need to sign up for a merchant account and you do not wish to use PayPal Payments Pro, you can explore other FDMS-compatible merchant account providers. Once you have been accepted for a merchant account, contact Turbify as described below to set up your merchant account in your store.

If you have an existing merchant account, your first step is to determine if your merchant account is compatible with the FDMS Nashville Platform, and has both RapidConnect and DataWire enabled. Contact your merchant account provider to determine if this is the case. If your merchant account is not compatible with FDMS Nashville, you can still process credit card orders offline. Ask your merchant account provider for a new MID/TID pair for your Merchant Solution account. You should ask them to use the following information in the setup:

• Product Name: Store FDMS (g/w)
• Product ID:50145
• Vendor Name: Turbify
• Vendor ID:190
• Equipment Code: AA12SU
• Equipment Name/Description: YahooAAbaco RCSRS EC GTW

Once the merchant account is set up, the next step is to contact Turbify via telephone to add the merchant account to your store.

Add an existing FDMS Nashville-compatible merchant account to your store

Due to recent changes in security practices at First Data, you'll need to contact Turbify via telephone to add an existing merchant account to Merchant Solutions. There's no additional charge for using your own merchant transaction service provider.

Important note for Bank of America customers: If you merchant account is through Bank of America Merchant Services (BAMS), you may need to request a new MID/TID. Just ask your BAMS rep if your current MID/TID are compatible with FDMS RapidConnect, and has DataWire enabled; if not, request one that is.
