Basic Requirements to get Started Selling Online:

To Set-up your E-Commerce Business on the Web you require the following:

1. A Website, preferably your own domain name e.g., www.pknic.ws
2. Your domain should be hosted (on  our servers - optional)
3. You need a way for customers to actually place orders. This is where shopping cart software required. Remember you can put the store on the same server as your website.

Setting-up to Accept Credit Cards:

SSL Secure Server - You will require a Secure Server so the Credit Card information that a customer gives you is secure. This is security between the customers browser and their server using the latest technology, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), 128 bit encryption, Secure Digital Certificate.  When you are on a secure server - you will see a solid key or locked padlock in the lower left corner on the screen. the lock appears on a page that requests sensitive information, such as Credit Card, Name etc.

Merchant Account - This is where you apply with a company (usually a bank) to actually process the credit cards. This company processes the card for payment and deposits it into your regular business banking account. Once you have a Merchant Account you have to have a way to send your customers Credit Card information to them and have them process it for payment for you. This is done electronically.

PC Credit Card Processing Software - There are software programs that do credit authorization and electronic deposit just like the Electronic terminal, but with the computer you can imagine just how many more features you would have. Additional Reports etc. But remember you will still have to key in each sale. At the end of the the software would total up your sales and electronically send it to the Merchant Account so they can process the payment and deposit it into your bank Account.

You can setup Store to interface with Real Time Credit Card processing, iPayment for example. The way this is done is, you pay $100 Fee and the certain CGI scripts are installed on the secure server that interface with the bank. After the scripts are installed, the orders that are submitted through your store are sent directly to you and the Credit Card information has been sent to your Merchant Account.
