How to take credit card payments online
If you have a website and you sell a service or a product, you may want to consider taking on-line payments. Taking credit and debit card payments on-line has a number of very obvious benefits:
- taking on-line payments makes your business look professional
- taking on-line payments saves you significant amounts of time in admin taks
- accepting payments on-line is convenient; it allows you to take payments upfront and deliver without delay to your clients (i.e. without having to wait around for a cheque or bank transfer to clear)
- taking payments on-line can make the all the difference to your business in terms of trust, professionalism and efficiency
So what do you need to do in order to be able to take payments on-line?
Traditionally, you would approach your bank and ask them to process payments on your behalf. The bank would then give you some code (software) for your web designer to integrate into a webpage on your site (typically a shopping cart page). Then you’re all done. But of course… the bank will then charge you a monthly fee for the privilege of having them process payments on your behalf... and it’s never been a cheap option. as well as that, the bank also take their ‘cut’ from each transaction processed, so all in all, it could turn out to be quite an expensive feature to add to your website… if you do it this way.
