eCommerce and Merchant Accounts
|
Because the road to creating a successful
online store can be a difficult and confusing
one if you are unaware of the concepts and
principles behind eCommerce, LJg is here
to guide you through the steps necessary
to begin selling your product or service
in an online web store.
Here is how online processing works: The
consumer moves through the internet to the
merchant's web site. From there, he decides
that he wants to purchase something, so he
is moved to the online transaction server,
where all of the information he gives is
encrypted. Once he has placed his order,
the information moves through a private gateway
to a processing network, where the issuing
and acquiring banks complete or deny the
transaction. In general, this all takes only
about 5 seconds.
In addition to a website and web hosting,
you will also need a payment gateway and
a merchant account in order to accept and
process online credit card payments. (Outsourcing
to a Third Party Processor is an available
option in lieu of a merchant account. See
our Third Party Processors page for more details.)
All of the eCommerce websites designed by
LJg include step-by-step assistance in setting
up your merchant account and payment gateway
as well as setting up your online web store
to assure seamless integration between your
website, your payment gateway and your merchant
account.
