Statistics show consumers are more likely to purchase online if they can simply pay with a credit card. Not only does it raise the likelihood of a standard purchase, but you’ll also get “impulse purchases” as well.
If you’d like to accept credit cards online, real-time, to sell products online you’ll need an Internet Merchant Account, a Gateway Processor and a Shopping Cart. PayPal is an option which provides all three (a Merchant Account, Gateway Processor and a Shopping Cart) and does NOT require your buyers to have a PayPal account to pay with their credit card.
