Ecommerce website overview accepting payments online
According to searchmerchants.com, there are an infinite number
of choices for accepting payments online. You can accept online
payments from an ECommerce Web site in two general ways.
1) Through your own online merchant account 2) Through a third
party online payment processor.Accepting Payments Online through
your own Internet Merchant Account
Accepting payments online via a merchant account puts you in
control and limits your reliability on outside payment
acceptance services. Besides an Internet merchant account, you
will need shopping cart software, a store or site host, a
processor, and a secure payment gateway. You may fit these
pieces together in several different ways. On one end of the
spectrum, you can choose the provider for each piece
individually. On the other end, you may choose a turnkey
solution, where a single provider has completed the puzzle for
you. There is no single best solution. Your choice will depend
on your particular needs
and experience. Among other
considerations, you should factor in your own comfort with the
technologies, customer convenience, providers' service levels,
available technical support, reliability, costs, and time
commitment involved.
Accepting Payments Online through a Third Party Online Payment
ProcessorIf you are not ready to set up your own online merchant
account and/or you want to offer additional online payment
options, you can turn to a variety of third party online payment
processors. Third party online payment processors provide a way
to accept payments online without the extra cost and obligation
of a merchant account. To compensate, transaction fees and/or
discount rates are significantly higher than for merchant
accounts.
