Wow coincidence! I was online this afternoon for the same reason, looking into setting up a website for my sweaters. I was looking on Go Daddy and they actually have whole packages for setting up the website with online catalog, ordering and payment capability, webhosting, etc. They have lots of good info there even if you don't use Go Daddy to set everything up. I think one of the options they offered was to take paypal as a method of payment. If you want to take credit cards directly instead of through paypal you will have to set it up with your bank. They'll give you a merchant ID number and all the info as far as fees, etc. Paypal is the better route if at all possible becaue merchant fees for credit cards are ridiculous and they keep going up. Right now I think they're anywhere from 3% to 8% of the transaction amount depending on the bank and the type of card. Good luck! |
