Accept
Payment Online!
In
order to accept credit card payments online, you need a merchant
account. You also need to integrate your shopping cart software
with your payment gateway and respond to customer inquiries.
Doing all this is sometimes easier said than done, especially if
you're a small, startup business.
Then, consider third-party payment processors. They offer
a shortcut to accepting credit cards.
Services such as Clickbank and PayPal allow merchants
to accept credit cards without a merchant account. Instead,
transactions are processed through the third-party providers'
accounts. They charge a small processing fee with each
transaction, only when you've sales! And you pay no
monthly fees!
This makes third-party processing services perfect for small
businesses just getting started. These services are also popular
with non-U.S. businesses and with businesses selling content and
services.
The third-party processor takes care of the entire purchasing
process. This includes shopping cart, credit card authorization,
customer service and billing inquiries. When customers are ready
to buy, they click on a link on your site and are taken to a
secure order form on the third-party server.
This is where they place their order and have it confirmed. You
are notified, usually by e-mail, that a transaction has been
processed.
Because they manage all aspects of transaction processing,
third-party processors allow small- business owners to save
money on administration and customer service. You don't need to
manually verify transactions or respond to billing questions.
Moreover, most processors provide sophisticated online
interfaces whereby you can review transaction information any
time of day.
Another benefit of third-party processors is that most have
effective fraud-screening systems. They handle all aspects of
security and encryption.
