ANSWERS: From: Teri S. Lee - tslee@newz2me.com Subject: Information on credit card processing for your site >From: richard burgess - suwat54@yahoo.com >Subject: Connecting credit card payments to site? (Issue #426) > -- >I have been enjoying and learning via your information - thank you. Now I am almost ready to launch my internet business, but as I am quite naive to this, I can't seem to find a way to connect visa or other credit cards for payment for my service. < -- I would like to help out with information on getting credit card processing for a site. First, check with your host and make sure they allow business accounts on your server! Then if that is ok'd check the amount of traffic you are allowed and be sure the server will handle your customer traffic. For the service itself, there are several ways to go. You can set up a full merchant account (Just do a search for the words "merchant Account" in any search engine and you will find plenty of offerings.) Then do the research with each company to check for fees, per sale charges, how it will be integrated into your site (secure server or a link, etc.) and whether or not it will work with your shopping cart software if you have one. Check with other customers of the account provider and make sure they are happy with the processing time, how the charge backs were handled, the security of the server, etc. There are several drawbacks to this method the first being cost. Usually you have to pay a set up fee, a monthly fee, a per charge fee, a charge back fee, and possibly a fee for equipment. You also have to pass a credit check and wait for the account to be set up. The second method is to sign up with a processing company that processes your sale for you and then keeps a part (a percentage ranging from 5% to as high as 45% that I've seen) of each sale to process each order. The customer just clicks on the "buy now" link on your site and they are whisked away to the secure page the processing co. has set up for your item. Each item usually has it's own page so you don't usually have a shopping cart with this method. A good example of this kind of provider is ClickBank.com or iBill.com. ClickBank has a 49.00 set up fee (one time not per item) and a $1 +7% fee per transaction. iBill has no set up fee but charges 15% of each transaction. The disadvantage to this method is that it is difficult to set up a shopping cart system, so selling multiple items may be tough. You could set up groups of items as single items though, and work around it that way. The advantages are that you don't have to pass a credit check or get seperate merchant accounts for visa/mc, discover, and AX who all use different merchant set ups. Click Bank and iBill will also will run an affiliate program for you complete with tracking, paying the commissions and all of the details such as stats, fraud tracking, and paying the affiliates who only get $ for each sale- not click thru. This will increase your sales exponentially! The third method is a service like PayPal.com which is like iBill and ClickBank but doesn't have the ability to run an affiliate program. They have just started to offer a shopping cart feature and they have no sign up fees, no monthly fees and only charge $3.00 + 3% (the last time I checked) per transaction.

Comments on Site #128: [27]http://www.fabulousincome.com Kay Strong strongone@door.net ~~~~ I think the site is very attractive but have a little bit of a bone to pick with any MLM program that offers what they called a "Partner Program" since I feel those terms to be generally associated with affiliate programs and felt a bit misled when I went over there and realized it was MLM. However, as MLM sites go, this one is done well. It always helps me to see a picture of the business owners and Kay and hubby look very nice. ~~~~ I liked the design of this site. The font was easy to read and the information clear and easy to understand. For improvements I do have some easy suggestions: 1- I did have to use the horizontal scroll bar with some of the pages 2- On the 'takeamoment' page the last sentence should have had a question mark before the enter link. 3- Sometimes the enter link or findoutmore link was blue, sometimes black. Always have it the same. 4- findout.html page, 3rd paragraph, 'ealth' should be 'wealth' 5- findout.html page, last paragraph, last sentence, 'committ' should be 'commit' 6- No contact information for Kay & Bob ~~~~ A typical biz op page. The product is health supplements. The page is nice and clear, and the photo of the two of the proprietors adds a personal touch. The information is all there, but the buttons on the side bar open in new windows while the links in the main frame open there. Not much to fault. Does its job pretty well. ~~~~ This website seemed to be too big for my screen - a lot of horizontal scrolling to read the text. Other than that I liked this site, but on the Usana site it was linked to there were missing graphics and some typos. ~~~~ I found the site fabulousincome to be targeted to people new at network marketing. The information was great for them, but for me I would have liked to see a page with just the facts, maybe a bullet point outline of the major benefits and how joining with them would be good for me. I didn't like having to go through page by page to get to a form to get a report. Nice layout though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________ moderator: Amy Mossel [28]Moderator posting: [29]MyInput@AEOpublishing.com ______________________________________________________ Send posts and questions (or your answers) to: [30]MyInput@AEOpublishing.com Please send suggestions and comments to: [31]Moderator@AEOpublishing.com To change your subscribed address, send both new and old address to [32]Moderator@AEOpublishing.com See below for unsubscribe instructions.
