Accepting Credit Cards:

In order to accept Credit Cards, you must have a merchant account.  You can continue to use your current business merchant account.  The orders from your store will be emailed to you (in encrypted form), and you can process them as you would any mail or phone order.

You may want to consider a Real-time Credit Card Processing E-commerce Solution.  This is real-time, meaning that the customer enters their information directly on your website and authorization is retrieved immediately.  You do not have to manually process the orders.

What this means is that when a customer orders from your shop, the credit card information is sent to your online merchant account and processed automatically.  You then get notification of the order and the money is deposited automatically to your account.

Approximate costs:

• Setup ~ $300
• 2.25%-3.25% Discount Rate / $.30 Transaction Fee
• Annual Fee - $600 ( for the transaction gateway)
