This can provide at least a very short overview on how to get started as a merchant with links to relevant resources ( current links could be replaced if any better introduction materials exist in the future ).

Looks good to me! The first heading is a bit confusing, "Users and businesses" sounds all encompassing. Perhaps

Buyers

Sellers

?

I'm not thrilled by pointing everyone towards payment processors. It'd be good to get documentation on how to accept Bitcoin payments yourself up there too. But that's a fairly large amount of technical writing that someone needs to do. Maybe time to ask around for a volunteer?

@mikehearn:

Titles: How about "How to use Bitcoin" & "How to accept Bitcoin"?

Payment processors: It seems like most merchants need these services. But I would be happy if someone wanted to update the Wiki page to cover both approaches. This said, specialized free software is probably needed for most POS and online merchants to handle payments easily and securely. Merchants should preferably not store any private key on any online server or computer used by their employees. I'm not sure we're there yet.
