Accepting credit card payment - tutorial

Post by bry »

I am helping a friend learn how to use WB and they have asked me for a tutorial on the basics of accepting credit cards on a website. I suggest paypal but I would like to be of more help than that.

Is there an overview tutorial for this topic?

I don't think they need to buy a service do they??

thanks.

Online payments are usually processed by payment processors, like PayPal and MyCommerce.

If you wan to do it yourself then you have to implement a credi card validation system and of course the website must be running on a secure server.
