Two Ways To Take Payments Without A Merchant Account
Ray Edwards
Starting an online business can be tough. One major obstacle for business owners is the issue of payment. Some businesses open a merchant account to handle payments. But what can you do if you can't get, or can't afford, a merchant account?
The good news is you don't need a merchant account to accept payments. There are at least two great options that will let you accept credit cards without actually having a merchant account.
There is a third option which can help you set up a merchant account, even if you think you don't qualify. This method doesn't work for everyone, but it can help 99% of people setting up their business.
Here are three solutions to your payment problems:
Clickbank. For a small fee of around $50, you can accept credit card payments, even e-checks, for products that are bought and sold online. It's easy and convenient. Clickbank handles all the details - they process the payment, deduct a small fee for their services, and then send you a check. They also handle your affiliate programs, deal with refunds, even do simple bookkeeping tasks. Some people think this is too expensive, but I disagree. With all that value, it's a fair trade.
PayPal. Studies prove that having PayPal on your sales page can boost conversions. Offer this as a payment option, and you will make more sales. Just like Clickbank, PayPal will handle the entire transaction for you. Your customers can use any major credit card, even e-checks, and they don't need a separate PayPal account.
PowerPay. So you still want a real merchant account, not a work-around like Clickbank or PayPal? You may still qualify for a merchant account, even if your credit is spotty or you have been turned down before.
