The beauty of e-Commerce lies with having the process as automated as possible. Your website accepting payments 24 hours a day with the confidence of knowing the entire process is secure.
All processing is done at the secure website of the banking system provider, not your own site.
All payments are dealt with by the banking system provider, you do not need to lift a finger.
Here are the five steps needed to get an e-Commerce package plugged-in to your website.
When your customer buys a good or service from your website they will go to the checkout.
The checkout facility is securely hosted with the banking system provider.
They will be asked to complete their details (e.g. credit card number).
Once payment has been successfully taken the customer is returned to your website.
The funds are instantly transfered to your e-Commerce account.
The funds are made instantly available to you.
An e-Mail payment confirmation is sent to you as soon as payment is complete.
When you receive payment confirmation, deliver your goods & services with confidence.
If you are selling digital goods even the delivery is done for you.
The entire process can take as little as five minutes.
The exact charges of the banking system provider will vary depending on which bank is used & the sales volume you expect.
