Ecommerce (payment options)
There are a number of payment options which can be used for an online store. The solution for your site will depend upon the number or products sold and number of transactions likely to occur in a set time frame.
Manual payment methods where goods will not be shipped until payment cleared:
- Bank transfer which allows clients to pay by transferring payment to a nominated account. The transaction is delayed (not real time) as it is cleared and verified manually before shipping.
- Personal or bank cheque, payment is manually cleared and verified before shipping.
- Credit card details collected and processed at a later date manually.
- Account payment, transactions are acummulated and manually invoiced on a monthly basis.
Automated On line payments:
- Payment gateways such as DPS or Paypal accounts, where customers will be directed to a payment gateway which allows them to pay by credit card.
- Real-time credit card processing within the client's site. Credit card details are requested and processed through your own web site. DPS and most banks provide this service.
- Paypal
For online payment solutions 4success recommends and uses DPS credit card payment options. All payment details would be collected via a secure encrypted link.
