At All
About Eve Media Services, we know how
confusing it can be to setup a e-commerce site. Let
us setup your shopping cart and help you get a merchant
account, and before you know it you will be selling items
online! There
are
three things that are needed to accept credit cards
on a website:
a merchant account, an electronic shopping cart, and
a programmer to set up the shopping cart to communicate
with the internet merchant account.
STEP
1: Merchant Account: A
merchant can obtain a merchant account
with his/her own business bank account or can
apply
for an internet merchant account. The
monthly cost for a internet merchant account
ranges from $20.00 and up depending on the merchants
needs,
plus additional
credit card transaction fees. Also,
there is usually a one-time setup fee ranging
from: $25.00 to $350.00 for which the
bank charges to setup the merchant account.
All About Eve does can assist you in finding
a Internet
Merchant Account Provider
that suits your pocket and
your business needs.
STEP 2: Shopping
Cart: Merchants
need to acquire a "shopping
Cart” -
a shopping cart is a pre-coded interface that is the gateway
between the customer and the bank. All
About Eve
offers the “Cart32” shopping
cart for their customers for a monthly
fee of $8.99.
STEP
3: Programming:
The shopping cart is programmed to
communicate with the merchant's "internet merchant
account", and then all of the merchant's items are
added to the online store, and tested to ensure that it
is in proper working order. All About Eve charges $75.00/hour
to program, design, and test the online store.
