How do I Register ezimerchant Professional from scratch?

FAQ applies to:

ezimerchant Professional version 4

IMPORTANT NOTES

The Global Transaction Server service incurs an ongoing monthly fee. When you register ezimerchant Professional you are creating an account on the Global Transaction Server (GTS). Active accounts on the GTS server will be automatically billed the monthly fee to a nominated credit card. If you are still in the process of developing a web site with ezimerchant Professional and you do not wish to pay the monthly fee while building the web site, you will have the option to Disable the GTS server functions during the registration process. As long as these functions remain disabled, the GTS will not bill your credit card. If you would like more information on the monthly costs involved please see our ezimerchant Professional information page.
