Default Accepting Credit Card Payments
Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place for this...

One website I have contains a directory - normally, I invoice companies and receive payment by cheque. A few companies have asked to be able to pay by credit card. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can accept Credit Card Payments - it isn't necessary to have integration with my website, just the ability for someone to make a payment on an invoice online (like paypal only without the messing!). Any ideas on how this can be done and what the costs are would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul I wrote a blog post that should tell you almost everything you are looking for.

You know people can pay you through PayPal without them having a PayPal account just using their credit card.

Frodo,

Thanks for the link...

By the way, I thought people had to have a paypal account in order to pay you through paypal?? If not, this would be ideal..

Nah they dont need an account. They can pay directly into your account using a credit card - some more info.

All,

Many thanks for the help - I thought that you needed to be registered with ebay in order to make a payment - this was (rightly or wrongly) putting me off but sending invoices via email is more than sufficient!!!

thanks again - save me a whole lot of time and bother!!

PayPal is very versatile when you get into all its functions it will provide almost any kind of solution you want. It can cost a few more €€€ than other ways especially with larger volumes but for what you are doing it should be perfect.

I ended up setting up a simple page before one button the end user could click on ... takes the to the paypal page with an hourly rate and number of hours. No need to sign in or anything they were pretty happy with it and it seems to work well. Took me maybe 2 hours to setup (majority of that time was trying to figure out why they had to sign in ... I had to upgrade my account which was free and fill in a few details and that was that)

While it is more expensive than having your own merchant account it does get cheaper if you are processing above a certain amount every month.

The main downside is that they don't support Laser
