Accepting Credit Cards Online
If you have a product or service to offer online, accepting credit cards is a must.
Some of the advantages to accepting credit cards online...
-
You
can increase online sales by
up to 400%
- The easier it is for your customers to make a purchase - the more likely they will make a purchase. Accepting credit cards directly from your site is a lot easier for your customers than mailing or faxing a payment.
- Some customers tend to buy on impulse and having the credit card option available to them will make them more likely to make a purchase.
- Statistics show that credit card purchases online are increasing every year and many shoppers prefer to use a credit card to make a purchase as opposed to other payment methods such as mailing a check.
- If you sell products or services to other countries credit card purchases makes currency conversion automatic without any effort on your part or the customer.
- A website that accepts credit cards for products or services offered appears more professional than those that don't.
- You will have an advantage over your competitors that don't accept credit card orders.
- You can sell your products or services online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
- You will receive payment faster by accepting credit cards. When you accept credit cards, your payments are deposited directly into your bank account within a few days as opposed to waiting for your customer to send a check and the post office to deliver it.
It is not as difficult as you may think to accept credit cards directly online from your website.
There are basically two options. The first option is to
set up a merchant account. This will require you
to apply for a merchant account through a bank or online
company that offers merchant accounts. The second
option is to use a third party credit card processor.
This option does not require a merchant account and is
the easiest way to start selling your products or
services online by adding codes or links to your
website.
There are several options available that make it easy and affordable to accept credit card orders directly online from your site.
