July 3, 201016 yr Ooh... I don't come into this part of the forum which is no surprise given my following question! OK,so I have a copywriting client who's a nice fella and he's asked for advice on how to take credit cards on his site. Now I'm obviously not going to be doing any nasty design work but I'd like to be able to point him in the right direction as to what he might need... it'd be interesting for me to understand it too! Apologies if this has been answered before, I did read through several threads here, but am still confused. Right, so here's what he wants: 1. To take credit/ debit card payments! 2. For that to happen as seamlessly as possible 3. He's only got 3 or 4 products with some 'bolt on' options 4. An all-in-one solution that doesn't need a separate merchant account, too fiddly a set up or the need to store customer's credit card details. Seamless means preferably onsite, or if not, as unobtrusively and smooth as possible keeping under his branding. Wants something like 'buy now' buttons but with a little more ability to add options... no real need for a 'shopping basket' as such and definitely not a whole ecommerce site. He's not expecting free - he wants the best, simplest, smoothest and reliable. Does that make sense? Sorry if it's obvious and already been answered. Any guidance I can tell him about what he'd have to do to set it up (not technical details, rather plain English generalities) would also be muchly appreciated. I might even be able to talk him into getting one of you to implement it!
July 3, 201016 yr Depend whether he has manual credit card processing facility already (is a shop or the like). If not, it can be a costly little bill & time & forms from your bank so Paypal is by far and away easiest way to do it. If he already has the credit card thing set up, the world's his lobster.
