How do I accept credit cards online?
You have two options for online processing. One option is to utilize an online payment page through your website where your customer’s process transactions through a secure connection to a server to obtain authorization for the charge in real-time. This method normally utilizes a shopping cart but doesn’t require one. The main reason to want to utilize a shopping cart is if your business offers multiple products or services. The other utilizes a virtual terminal where the credit card information for each sale is taken over the phone or in some manual effort and keyed into the system from a secure Internet connection. Most gateways offer both website and virtual terminal processing options.
