What type of credit cards are used the most in the UK?

Question

Hi,

I'm starting up a US ecommerce website, that will be accepting Visa, MasterCard, Amex, and Discover cards.

My website will also be selling to UK customers, so I was wondering if the credit cards listed above are used a lot in the UK??

The reason I ask is because I've been looking at some UK websites and they all list the following credit cards: Solo, Maestro, Switch, Diners Club, Delta, and JCB. But my merchant account can't process these types of credit cards; so will UK customers not want to buy from my website because of this??

Thank you,

snowking
