Online Support
Phone: 801-951-8250 (M-F, 8-5 Mountain)
Fax: 801-951-8222

1. Voided Check

This is simply a U.S. check with VOID written on the face. This checking account is the one linked to your merchant account. Your sales proceeds will be deposited into this checking account and your monthly service fees will be drawn from it.

If a business name is printed on your check, it should match the “Doing Business As Name” on the iPayment application. However, the name cannot indicate a different business type (like “Joe’s Bar & Grill”).

2. iPayment Merchant Processing Application

Please click here for the application. This is a four-page document, but a lot of the fields are pre-completed or not required. If you print it out and complete just the highlighted fields, it won’t take long at all.

For detailed instructions on completing the required fields, scroll down this page to “Line by Line Instructions for iPayment Merchant Processing Application” If you have any questions, please click here to contact support or call 801-951-8250, identifying yourself as a Market America Distributor.

3. Submitting Your Application

Please fax the voided check and the completed iPayment Merchant Processing Application to iTransact at 801-951-8222 – or scan and email them to ma_app@itransact.com

Put the check on its own page; do not cover up application verbiage with it. Note that a fax of a check photocopy is often easier to read than a fax of an original check.

Or you can mail these items to:

iTransact (attn: MA New Accounts)
PO Box 999
314 South 200 West
Farmington UT 84025-0999

Please allow up to two weeks from the date of receipt to process and activate your account.

Thank you! We look forward to working with you!
