Metropolis Opinion

A businessman said to us; please find me a web design! I would like to create online store with automatic data update and bla bla bla. He wants ASPX software inside his website. And the main statement made me think twice when he said I want people can buy my product directly in my website, not using indirectly payment like manual transfer to his local bank.

Last statement so confused me because I know well about how to build an online store, complex with directly payment in website. All I know is described below. Online store needs some instrument to make it working and trusted by purchasers. Because of online payment, purchasers (credit card owners) must find good reasons that your site contains SSL and secure payment. If the store is accepted any purchasers though out the world, it means your payment method must support with their local currency, he needs third party to provide those solution.

Merchant Account is the name. Merchant Account is third party providers who provide payment solution, directly payment, accept any currencies and secure systems. All online marketing and online store know well Merchant Account because they are partners.

To create a good explanation, I will use Prodigy Payment Systems, one of the best merchant accounts for your partner. To connect with your shopping cart, Prodigy increases your business, increase your sales because of best features the merchant account has. Once you create account in merchant account, you will get; easy payment (because they have support with many major payment methods, setup process and configure with your shopping cart is very easy, and main feature are Prodigy Payment Systems support your shopping cart with credit card processing (accept major credit card such as visa, American Express, MasterCard, Discover Card and Diner’s Club), accept electronic check and even wireless payment.

I you are newbie and decide to build online store integrated with shopping card and merchant account and need further information, do not heritage to contact merchant account provider, they will help you to grow your business.
