Shopping Cart & Online Payment

The amount of trade conducted online has grown extraordinarily with widespread Internet usage. Creating an online sales channel for your business is not as difficult as it used to be due to major innovations in electronic payment, supply chain management, online transaction processing, inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems.

Almost all big retailers have an E-commerce presence on the Internet not only because consumers have become more comfortable buying products and services online, but also because an online sales channel generates bigger profit margins by streamlining the supply chain and cutting out unnecessary middlemen.

A key aspect of E-Commerce is managing payment, because this is where money changes hands. There are various ways to receive online payment. Some examples are:

PayPal - An online payment processing service aimed at simplifying the process of paying for online purchases. Users store their credit or debit card and shipping information in their PayPal account, so that they can purchase at participating stores at the click of a button. PayPal also offers fraud protection, as well a unified page for tracking purchases and their status.

PayPal performs payment processing for online vendors, auction sites, and other commercial users, for which it charges a fee. It sometimes also charges a small transaction fee for receiving money (a percentage of the amount sent plus an additional fixed amount).

Google Checkout - Google Checkout is a reliable alternative to PayPal. However, Google Checkout places more focus on enabling one-time payments to be made from a purchaser to a merchant. Unlike PayPal, Google Checkout does not permit the use of stored funds, nor allows payments from person to person.

WorldPay - WorldPay is a division of the Royal Bank of Scotland specialised in handling secure payments over the Internet. Unlike PayPal and Google Checkout, WorldPay provides you with a secure website to process credit or debit card payments directly. Your customers do not have to create an account with PayPal or Google to pay for their purchase. For this service, WorldPay charges higher setup and transaction fee than PayPal and Google.

There are several other services that can be integrated into your website or software to enable you to accept online payments from your customers. With over 7 years of experience in E-Commerce, our team can walk you through the various options and implement the option best suited to your business.
