What is the best way to accept a payment on a website that is not configured as a merchant site?

Question

I am currently working on a website hosted by Yahoo Small Business Solutions. I will be offering a service in which will have to be paid for in order to have access to this service. I would like to avoid transfering everything to an e-commerce website. Is someone willing to offer expert advice in this matter?

Answer 1

How about having them sign up with paypal then they can pay you through paypal.  Same as getting an electronic check, etc. directly into your checking account.

Answer 2

The only other way is to have your customers call you with a credit card (you accept as a credit card phone order), and you will have to set up a credit card acceptance/payment plan with a bank or credit card processing company.

You can have sent to you as a wire transfer of funds with Western Union or bank to bank.

You might look into a direct payments and deposits using Pay Pal.

Hope one of these help

Answer 3

You can create a PayPal button, and another for payment via major credit card, and it works the same for debit cards.

Keep in mind that some people don't have access to PayPal,

or a credit card, and you might want to set up a post office box so that these customers can pay by money order.  You can give them access to your service once you get the money from the MOs.
