    If I go to the order page and I stay on the SAME website than you are dealing with a direct merchant account ?

    Usually a website must have an actual merchant account for them to keep customers on their site. Probably not a 100% guarantee but close.

    Is there any specific reason why you would want to know as a buyer?

    No specific reason , just curious to know how things work...(like I am interested in the beginning of time, beginning of the universe,etc...)

    What's your reason for asking me this ?

    Just curious if there was a specific reason you wanted to know, or maybe a disdain for 3rd party processors or merchant account providers ;)
