Many small business customers don't have the need for full service online payment options, particularly after taking into account the costs that banks charge.
Here are a couple of low cost, low risk options that can help you receive payments or sell online that won't cost you an arm and a leg.
One option is to have a secure online form that collects all the order and credit card information which is then processed by the business in house using existing merchant card facilities.
Don't have or need merchant facilities but would like to still receive the odd credit card payment online? You can always integrate Pay Pal into your online store or website. You pay a small commission on each sale and the customer doesn't even have to be registered with Pay Pal to make their payment.
We've recently added this option for our clients - good for our clients and good for us.
All the best,
David
