Irin Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Hello, I'd like to accept credit cards at my online store but I know absolutely nothing about merchant account and working with credit cards. Until now I just had PayPal and Check/Money Order payment methods. Could somebody please enlighten me into the credit cards world, how it works and what do I need to start this process? Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Irina. Quote
Jack_mcs Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 On new shops, paypal is the best option due to cost. The other methods cost considerably more unless you have the volume to support them. You can expect to pay 20 - $50 month for using them, plus transaction fees. If you have your own credit card terminal, then you can use that although screening for fraud becomes more of an issue too. So, I recommend that you decide how much are willing to spend each month. By deciding that, you can narrow down the possiblities.
