If your website has never accepted credit and charge cards your potential customers who want to use a card simply use another merchant’s site. They’ve surfed the Internet to a website that displays the welcome sign, inviting them to spend more than they may have imagined. 

On the Internet, you’ll never compete with the multitude of other merchants vying for the business of Web surfers unless you accept credit and charge cards online. You may have thought that you could have the cardholder send you their card information in an email, but that’s not feasible. Email contents are about as safe as gluing your credit card to your forehead and walking in a crowd of people - anyone who wants to copy your information has access to it. Transactions on the Internet must be secure, encrypted to prevent spying eyes. Cardholders are becoming more and more comfortable with placing orders on the Internet and there’s no reason why you can’t be on the receiving end of their business.

Benefits include:

• Increase sales & profits
• Eliminate receivables
• Customer demand

• Increase cash flow
• Enhance credibility
• Valid record of sales
