Hi guys, I m new to this online payment receiving thing and i m hoping that you will shed some light on it for me. Say I have a website and i sell some products, ebooks etc and hence i need a way to receive money from the people that will buy my products. And i want to receive money via Credit Cards such as VISA, Master, AMEX, Discovery etc. So my question is what are the steps/things i need to do to achieve this ? I m mainly a developer and not very fimiliar to banking and payment processing etc. So if you guys can give me some info on this that will be very helpful. Thank you.
ok, thats an option but what do i need to do to recieve payment via Credit Cards ? if you could explain bit more that will be helpful, as i m very inexperianced in this.
Make a Premier/Business account and then make a buy button. Or use oscommerce solution for PayPal integration ready.
It appears that you are offering some sort of software for sale and if that is the case, you can consider http://www.plimus.com or http://www.shareit.com .
The standard Paypal accounts we use, ie Business and Premier does not come with Fraud Protection so you will need to use with caution. If you want to use Paypal and need fraud protection, you will need to sign up for a Business account and enable Website Payment Standard or Pro. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_wp-standard-overview-outside
2Checkout is ok, but they take 5.5% plus $.40 per transaction. If it's under $5, they take even more. Paypal is a little better.
