Payment Gateways
Once you've got your E-commerce store you want to make sure customers can purchase your products. Being a friendly, inviting place for card payments is essential to the success of any online store. Giving out your card details to an unknown or unfamiliar website is in the nightmares of many a cautious shopper so using a recognised payment provider can put their mind at ease. Not only are they easy, familiar and secure; payment gateways also ensure that customers complete all the essential details you need to complete the transaction.
Paypal
With advanced fraud management tools, the ability to send online invoices and micropayment options to save you charges, Paypal gained ground though its famous link with ebay. Now used and recognised worldwide, Paypal provides users with a familiar gateway to pay for products. Providing its 150 million users with the choice to pay through their existing Paypal account, Paypal also caters for non-users with its express checkout option. Allowing customers to complete transactions in just 3 clicks, adding express checkout to your website is a perfect option for even the laziest of shoppers.
Google Checkout
Google checkout feels instantly comforting as part of the Google brand, so naturally it takes its place in the set of online payment gateways. Google checkout allows users to login and pay using a username and password to access all their payment information through their account. Displaying the Google checkout badge can increase traffic to Adwords advertisements, highlighting your store and providing familiarity existing to Google checkout users. Filtering out fraudulent transactions, Google checkout ensures only legitimate transactions reach you and with their payment guarantee option it's easy to see why Google checkout is a real payment option for E-commerce stores.
Sagepay
Like Paypal and Google checkout, Sage pay allows E-commerce stores to take online payments. Unlike these alternative payment gateways, Sage pay allows customers to pay via a payment form directly on your website rather than customers being diverted to the website of the payment company. This has the obvious benefits of being faster and easier to use. For those who like to know their costs in advance, Sage pay has the added benefit of charging a set monthly fee, rather than payments per transaction.
