Different Ways to Accept Credit Cards in Your Business - Part 3

The third way to accept credit cards from your customers is through your website. This is quickly becoming a very popular way for businesses to securely take payments from customers. These are the things you need for a business website. It is the way that you accept credit cards online. You might say, "I can't do that because I don't know how". To that I would say, you don't need to know a lot to set this up for your business. If you want some help with it just send me an email at john@provinc.net and I can help you or read on and I'll tell you how. First, you have obviously got to have a website with an online shopping cart integrated into it. That's actually very easy. Just go to a website called the http://www.thetemplatestore.com/. On this site you will be able to select and purchase a website template(they have lot's to choose from!), that has a shopping cart already built into it. Cost is about $150 for the template. You will also have to have a place to host your website, so people can find your store on the web. You can talk to the guys at http://www.godaddy.com/ or http://www.tierranet.net/ about that, they will help you and it's inexpensive.

You will receive instructions with your website template about how to load the information into your online shopping cart. You can do that yourself or send us an email and we will assist you. You will need to think about some words to put into your website template that will tell your website visitors about your products.

You will need an online payment portal integrated into your business website, so that people can securely and safely put their credit card numbers into your shopping cart to buy your products. Just email me when you get ready for that and Provision, Inc will sell you a license for Authorize.net. The license costs $25. We will integrate it into your shopping cart. Provision will also help you to setup a merchant account, so you can recive payments from your customers. This account is required to take credit cards from your customers. This should get your business online!
