Payment Overview & Merchant Account


In order to enable credit card purchases online, you need a merchant account and a payment gateway.  The merchant account allows your customer's credit card to be recognized as a legitimate purchaser and transfers the payment to your business bank account; the payment gateway is the tool behind the scenes that actually transmits the customer's credit card information to the merchant account provider.
 

Merchant Manager currently supports the following payment gateways:

 LinkPoint

 PayPal

 Google Checkout

If you already have a merchant account, you can use it with Merchant Manager as long as it supports one of these payment methods. If you don't already have a merchant account and would like to apply for one, then click the appropriate merchant account link on the Payment page.

Once you activate the merchant account(s) of your choice, configure the appropriate payment gateway(s).

 

In addition, there are two options that do not require merchant accounts or payment gateways:

 C.O.D (Cash On Delivery)
