How to Accept Online Payments

If you are just starting your business, you may want to go with a third-party service that handles the entire transaction process for you.

Third-party payment processing options include:
  • ClickBank (clickbank.com)
  • 2CheckOut (2checkout.com)
  • Google Checkout (google.com/checkout)
  • PayPal (paypal.com)
With those options, you don't have to apply for and wait to have a merchant account approved. Also, you don't have to purchase equipment or software.

Third-party options have become much more competitive with merchant accounts over the past few years.

PayPal and Google Checkout, for example, enable you to accept credit cards.

Google Checkout, one of the newest providers, currently offers order processing for free until 2008.
