Payment Options
Providers such as PayPal, Google
Checkout
A merchant account and Payment
Gateway

PayPal etc. Pros
Quick and easy to implement
Donʼt require a merchant account with
a bank
It may be that customers are happier
giving their details to these companies
than to you

PayPal etc. Cons
Canʼt brand the payment screens
Might be a confusing process
Makes you look like a small company
Lack of trust in PayPal etc.

What do you need?

into that merchant account (payment
gateway service)

to take payments
