Online Payments

How to get paid for e-goods and services
 

You've worked hard to attract visitors to your web site and now someone actually wants to  become a customer and buy whatever it is you're selling...hooray!

It's important to remember that most people buy things they 'want' but don't necessarily 'need'. If you're message is compelling, you'll get the click...click...ka-ching.

And the purchase process itself must be quick, simple and easy.

Payment processing service

You can increase your sales by as much as 317% or more by accepting credit cards at your web site.

Most people who have an Internet connection also own a credit card or a debit card that may be used as a credit card.

To process credit cards through your web site, you will need something called an Internet merchant account. If you don't already have a merchant account, we suggest two different payment processing services that we have found to be affordable and reliable.

Merchant accounts are not difficult to obtain and nearly every business can easily qualify. Just be sure you know who you are dealing with and exactly what you are getting before you sign any contract.

PayPal ฎ

PayPal is a one of the most popular online payment methods. It's safe, easy to setup, and cost to the business owner are practically nothing.

PayPal
Packages

PayPalPayPal lets any business or consumer with an email address securely, conveniently, and cost-effectively send and receive payments online using their credit card or bank account.

The PayPal network builds on the existing financial infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards to create a global, real-time payment solution. PayPal delivers a product ideally suited for small businesses, online merchants, individuals and others currently underserved by traditional payment mechanisms.

PayPal was recently acquired by eBay, and is the 2002 SIIA Codie Awards winner for "Best eCommerce Solution" and is recognized by PC Magazine as one of "The Top 100 Web Sites."

Putting your web site online is NOT enough...people need to find you before they can buy from you.

Ranking well with search engines like Google is not something you can leave to chance—you MUST submit your site. but submitting alone is a waste of time.

WebPosition 4 can help bring more free traffic to your site.

Increase traffic—increase sale.
