How To Easily Configure Your Website For Accepting Payment Via Credit/debit Card by presegsADESIDA(m): 10:39am On Jul 09, 2014
With the evolution of the Cashless Policy/Economy and enforcement by Central Bank,any webmaster or website owner need to get ready to adding an online store to his/her website and make buying of goods and services more convenient as customers can buy products and services from the convenience of their homes and offices.

But before that can be achieved,there are some requirements which are:

Domain name if not previously owned

Hosting server if not previously owned

Website design with shopping cart solution,

Dedicated IP with SSL Certificate for securing your site

Bank Account either Savings, Current or corporate which the payment will be going into and where the merchant ID will be generated.

That is that and before I proceed,I will like to give you more enlightenment on this issue by telling you some other things you need to know about ecommerce/epayment.

Who is the ecommerce/epayment solution meant for?

Merchant who want to sell products online
Merchant who render services and want to make it easy for customers/clients to pay online
Religious organizations, NGOs, Governmental organizations, and Political Parties who want to receive voluntary donations and fees online
Educational Institutions who wants to receive fees from students and parents, saving them the hassles of going to cue-up in the banks
And any other interested firm who wants to tap into the cashless electronics society


What is a merchant account?
A merchant account is way for businesses to accept credit cards both online and offline. Merchant account processor companies provide credit card authorization and charges in real-time.

Why accept credit cards?
80% of the world buys products and services on credit. over 87% of all Internet customers use credit cards and businesses loose sales over 60% of the time if they don't accept credit card payments!

Credit cards are ecommerce and trying to do business without them is like swimming against the tide. You need 2 things to accept credit cards, first a small business merchant account and second a way to process these transactions. At brick and mortar stores the processing takes place when your card is swiped through the card reader. At online stores the processing is done when a shopper types in their credit card information and it is verified by a merchant account processor. Debscom partnerships with many different merchant account providers allow you to both have a merchant account and process credit cards. We provide a variety of merchant account provider companies so that your company can find the solution that is right for your business.

How does it work?
With most merchant accounts, during checkout the shopper will be asked which method of payment they prefer to use, if they select a form of credit card payment they will be redirected to a secure page within the store to enter their credit card information. After the shopper selects submit, the credit card information will be sent to the correct merchant account where it will be verified and either accepted or denied by the merchant account service provider. If the transaction is denied the shopper will be alerted immediately so that they may correct and continue or cancel the transaction. The advantage of this system is that the user has never left your store and yet their transaction has been either accepted or denied and the goods can be immediately sent.

Security
Internet credit card fraud has always been a problem. All of our merchant account provider companies do their best to catch fraud. We have a variety of mechanisms in place to checking shipping address against the credit card billing address and to check card verification codes with visa and mastercard. We recommend you use these features to their fullest in order to lessen your companies liability. The benefits of accepting credit cards far outweigh the negatives but you should be aware and vigilant to lessen the impact on your business.
