Problem:
Can I take orders online with my ecommerce account?Solution:
Yes, you can, and there are several options available to you. You can choose to either process credit card orders online in realtime, which requires a Merchant Account and gateway, or you can collect your customer's payment information and process the transactions offline. The shopping cart that you use for your store will determine which payment gateways you can use to process your online transactions.Another option, which does not require the expense of a Merchant Account is to use a third-party system like PayPal or NetTeller to process the credit card payments. This will eliminate the monthly fees that apply to maintain and online Merchant Account, and may be more economical when just starting your ecommerce business. However, keep in mind that this option does require your visitors to have or open an account with these third-parties.
