FEATURE ARTICLE - 5 Simple Steps to Accepting Payments
————————————————————
Author: Keith Bowman of eBookBounty.com
When you’re selling things, you need people to be able to pay
you. Sure, they could send you cheques in the post, but that’s
not really convenient or scalable, is it? No, to do business
on the web, you need to be able to accept card payments
electronically – and, luckily for you, it’s never been easier.
Here’s the whole process, in five simple steps.
Step 1: Choose a Payment Service.
While you could get a merchant account and do your own card
processing, it isn’t usually worth it, unless you do an awful
lot of transactions. For most business, third-party payment
services are a better solution, and there are lots of services
out there that let you accept card payments for a small fee.
When you choose a payment service, then, the main things you
want to consider are the prices, and whether your customers
will trust it. You used to need to consider which services
your customers would have accounts with, but as most services
now let you accept payments from people who don’t have accounts
with them that’s not much of an issue any more.
Right now, the biggest general payment player is PayPal, and
they’re worth considering first, but you should be aware that
many businesses have had issues with PayPal freezing their
accounts and being slow to respond (see www.nopaypal.com for more).
StormPay (www.stormpay.com) is a decent general-purpose PayPal
alternative, and useful to keep around as a backup. You might
also like to check out more specific services, such as AuctionCheckout
(if you’re taking payments for auction items) or ClickBank (non-physical
products only, popular for ebook sales).
Step 2: Create an Account.
The next step is to create an account at your chosen online
payment provider. This will require you to give out either
your personal name and address or a business name and address.
Depending on who you’re registering with, you may also need to
give out credit card or bank details. It almost goes without
saying that you shouldn’t give these details out to anyone
you’re not sure of – be suspicious of payment services that
you’ve found with a search but never actually seen in use.
Step 3: Get Verified.
Before you can receive any significant amount of money, most
payment providers require you to become ‘verified’ – this is
usually nothing more than the minimum they need to do to comply
with the law. If you haven’t been asked for your bank and credit
card details already, you will be at this point, and some services
will even ask you to fax them a photocopy of your physical card,
to prove you’re the real cardholder. Some services will even
cross-reference your phone number with your address and then
phone you up to make sure it really was you. Don’t be too
disturbed by all this: it’s all in the name of security, and
you’re not doing anything bad (or at least I hope you’re not!).
Step 4: Add the Payment Button to Your Pages.
When it comes time to actually start accepting customers’ money
through the service, all you’ll need to do in most cases is add
some kind of button or image of a button to your sales page that
says ‘Pay Now’. The payment service will usually provide the HTML
for this, and a few tutorials to explain things like ways to make
sure that the correct amount shows up on the payment page.
Step 5: Withdraw Often.
Whenever you’re dealing with electronic payments, the final step
is to withdraw every time you get an amount of money you consider
significant, and an absolute minimum of once per week. There are
all sorts of reasons for this, but the biggest one is that online
payment services aren’t anywhere near as strictly regulated as other
financial institutions, and aren’t under that much of an obligation
to give it to you in any timely manner. You should consider any money
left with them to be at risk until it’s securely in your bank account.
Besides, you don’t want your money sitting there earning interest for
them instead of you, do you?

Guest Article: The Steps Needed to Accept Credit Card Payments Online
————————————————————
Whether you are a huge company, or just a fledgling start-up,
accepting credit card payments is very important. Many people
will not make any purchases on your web site if you do not accept
credit card payments. Some people do not think that your business
is reputable enough if you do not accept credit cards. Other people
want to make an impulse buy, but if they can not buy it right now,
then they might leave your web site and never return. Accepting
credit card payments is not very hard to setup, but there are some
distinct steps that need to be taken to allow you to do so.
First you will need to contact your bank or a third party company
to setup a merchant account. A merchant account allows you to accept
and hold credit card payments. The next step you will need to take
is to create a form on your web site where the credit card information
can be obtained. There is a variety of different scripts that can be
used to accomplish this task. The code needed is not very complex and
it can be written by almost any programmer. If you do not want to write
code from scratch, then many are available to accept credit card payments,
so you could also just purchase one of those.
After that you will need to purchase a service that will process credit
card payments. Many services are available online, and some of these
services will also allow you to setup a merchant account with them,
so you can accomplish many steps working with 1 company.
Now that you have the steps needed to accept, process and store credit
card payments, you need to make sure that your web site is secure, so
that people’s credit card information can not be stolen. To do this you
need to setup your web site on SSL or Secure Sockets Layer. Your ISP can
set this up for you, and then you can get an SSL certificate to let the
world know that your site is secure. These are the basic steps needed to
accept credit card payments on your web site. Use this information to
help build your business today.
