How one can accept online credit card payments

Accepting credit card payments through your web site actually requires multiple components. Between a paying customer and your bank account, three layers exist:

  1. Payment Gateway
  2. Internet Merchant Account
  3. Web Site

The main reason why most local financial institutions or banks do not want to provide online merchant account is because transactions conducted over the Internet are totally different from face to face transactions where a signature is required to authorize the purchase. This makes online transactions prone to credit card fraud. Fraud protection should be one of your primary considerations when choosing an internet merchant account provider.

Make Right Decision!

Before you choose your merchant account providers, understand all of the cost components. Use your current or projected sales data to forecast what your internet merchant account costs will be. Planning ahead can save you time and money.
