How to accept credit cards?..

vip-ip · 09-18-2005, 10:58 AM

I know that 2CO.com lets you accept credit cards for a $50 fee, are there services like that for free? Example, I make 10 $5 sales, so I get a $50 check in the mail :-) Or something like that?

Thanks!

You'll have some fees on any transaction, even with 2Co, like when you accept CC with PayPal.

sounds good, which company are you talking about?

dgaussin · 09-18-2005, 11:21 AM

There's a lot. You could do some search on CDG Commerce, authorize.net, etc.

Mike_Wiseman · 09-18-2005, 12:00 PM

is authorize.net free? Cause i am also trying to look for one of these checkout scripts...

mholt · 09-20-2005, 03:06 PM

Authorize.net! I love authorize.net! In fact, I visited their headquarters in ... I think it was American Fork, Utah! Very nice place!

I would recommend Authorize.net...

rivux · 09-21-2005, 01:04 AM

All authorize.net resellers will have a gateway or activation fee and nearly all of them will have a minimum monthly fee. You won't find a free cc processor since they all have to pay visa/mastercard their fee which gets passed to you. Your best option is PayPal which can accept cc payments without signing up and have no upfront costs.

sdsinc · 09-21-2005, 09:27 AM

I use 2checkout.
Rules may have changed but at the time there was a $49 signup fee and no monthly charges. So if you do not use it often you don't pay maintenance.
Whatever the processing company you use you will always pay fees (%) on the transactions.

Mike_Wiseman · 09-23-2005, 09:29 AM

Is there any free ones though?

If you are looking for free setup paypal is best option but it has got few restrictions.It cuts transaction cost also when it delivers you your cheque it cuts some processing fee too.

I am looking at costco's credit card processing. It is free for executive member and pretty low fees.

harmony · 10-29-2005, 03:20 PM

paypal, thats wat i use.. personal account no transaction fees, but no credit card allowed for personal accounts.. if this is what your talking about

cache · 10-29-2005, 11:08 PM

I found that costco's deal is free, but you have to pay verisign because the secure site is required.

Barrucadu · 10-30-2005, 03:06 AM

use paypal, just set up a shopping cart, or whatever you need.

Porte · 10-30-2005, 03:53 AM

You need a real merchant account or just a simple third party processor for credit cards, it all depends on your sales volume (and your location..), but the easier, cheaper for small companies is to sign-up for third party processor to process payments.

PayPal business account can do it (if it is available for you), if not, you can try 2Checkout, stormpay, shareit, there's a lot. But it depends on the nature of your product and the fees.

But after all, credit card processing is not free, you will have to pay a fee per each transaction (in other words, they will take this fee from the total of each sale). Some parties will require a setup fee, and some won't. So just do a research in google for 'accept credit cards online' or something.

PM or email, should you have questions, or wish to establish a merchant acct. for your online business. We also service offline merchants as well, and the processing rates are slightly lower for "cardswipe" merchants who do get signatures.

I use linkpointcart.net, its a monthly fee, my site is www.aeonicclothing.com, you can look at my shoppingcart if you like, the question is, will you be making enough money that it would be better to pay the flat monthly fee or to pay a percentage of each transaction?

cache · 11-07-2005, 10:17 AM

how do you compare your service with costco's no-monthly fee?

I have visited your site, but I can not see how it is related to Royal Bank of Scotland? Could you please show me a link on RBS's site that points to your site?
