Accepting credit cards on your website can be much easier than you think. It is often difficult to setup and people don’t know where to start. Here is a simple 2 step plan to accept credit cards on your web site.
#1) Get a merchant account, gateway and shopping cart setup for your web site. A merchant account is an account that gives you the ability to accept electronic payments. A gateway is credit card processing software, which is almost always web-based and gives you access to the networks that securely process credit card transactions. A shopping cart is a software program that enables people to add products or services to their order on your website. All of this can be done though one-stop ecommerce merchant services solutions like those provided by North American Bancard through ChoiceMerchantServices.com.
#2) Install the shopping cart on your website. ChoiceMerchantServices.com can set you up with a merchant solution like Authorize.net and PlugNPay. Both come with free point, click and build shopping carts that can be integrated into a web site with little to no programming knowledge.
