PHARMACY CREDIT CARD PROCESSING IS
A MUST FOR SMALL ONLINE BUSINESSES
There are a few small and
start up online businesses that, even
today, don’t have the ability to process
credit cards. In their check out pages
they instruct their customer’s to send a
check to pay for the goods that they
have bought. When you come across such
sites there are 2 possibilities – it
might be the website’s older version as
no body asks their customer’s to send
paper cheques, today. The other
possibility is that the owner of the
business is not competitive enough and
therefore, does not want to waste money
on new technologies. The question is:
with processing services so easily
available in the market, why would any
business not accept online payments?
There was a time when
online credit card processing was
available only at large businesses and
the smaller ones could not afford it.
However, that time is long over. Read
the following examples to see the use of
online credit card processing.
-
A person who was buying and selling
baseball cards from his bedroom had
a set up for accepting credit card
payments.
-
A business owner who runs a business
which makes ornaments using
discarded cans of aluminium accepts
online credit card payments.
-
A guy who sells car accessories from
his garage on the internet has the
facility to accept credit card
payments from his customers.
The point here is: small
internet businesses not only benefit by
accepting credit cards, they benefit
more than the large ones. Also, for
small online businesses credit card
processing is a must if they have to
survive the competition.
Firstly, the small
business can function more efficiently
because they don’t have to handle paper
cheques anymore. All the transactions
will done automatically and in real
time.
Secondly, your customer’s
will feel more secure and confidence
when they can pay using credit card.
There are several people who have been
cheated when they sent cheques to fake
businesses that exist online.
Thirdly, since merchant
accounts are easy to obtain and
available in plenty in the market,
people get very suspicious with those
websites that does not offer this
facility. Due to this reason your online
business will not get any customer’s
though you might be running a genuine
business.
If you have decided that
your small business should have credit
card processing then you will be asking
your self whether it is worth the costs
and how to go about doing it. If you
enter “merchant services” in Google you
will find several thousand results.
One easy and most
efficient way to clear your confusion is
to talk to any other small business
operators who already have credit card
processing for their sites. If he is a
friend of yours then it is much better
because you will get an unbiased
feedback.
Then, do some research on
your own to find out which one will suit
your business requirements and acquire
the account for your business. Contact
