How to collect on your website

Today, "cyberclientes, customers internet" or "On-Line customers" want things quickly and securely. That is, if they will make a purchase, they want to do at the same time they want, safely, smoothly and with a fast delivery service.

And here comes the million dollar question!, Your site is ready to receive payments online?

If not, Hurry up, because it is losing money on every moment that passes ...

On the other hand, if you intend to start a business on the internet, it is time to think about how to charge their customers to buy their products, otherwise you will lose much ground in the very beginning of your business ...

How to charge on Internet?

There are two ways: On-Line (online) and Off-Line (offline). Both forms are valuable resources for you to collect online. The ideal is that both can offer its customers collection and facilitate the management of purchase.

Collections online

To begin we will say that the fees or charges for internet on-line, are those where the customer makes the entire transaction without contacting anyone. It is therefore imperative to generate the necessary confidence.

Charging Credit Card has two major advantages, firstly, it facilitates the purchase and gives our customers the security of receiving the product ordered, the case can request money back from the company that made the recovery on line. Furthermore, you benefit from the "impulse buy", and found that the user can purchase your product immediately. Another benefit to you is the cost reduction in turnover and sales to conduct most of the process automatically.

Now, so you can charge with credit card you have two options:

1. Install your own secure platform for payment (payment gateway) that allows you to check and then debited from the customer credit card a certain amount, in a secure manner. This system will require approximately U.S. $ 50,000, plus the cost of maintenance, therefore, is recommended for companies with high volumes of monthly billing.

2. Hiring a service online billing module in which the company providing the service acts as a collector and for You and order him transferred to a savings, current account or by certified check made postcard collection, less a commission service. This is a system widely used by professionals, entrepreneurs and businesses, because it means no monthly cost and only charge a% per transaction (usually 5 or 6%) and trust in the users because they are
recognized worldwide. An example is: 2checkout, whom I shall give details because I think an excellent choice:

2checkout (http://www.2checkout.com):

- It is necessary to pay U.S. $ 49 to register. Once paid this amount, no monthly fees, no annual or other maintenance.

Other features:
- Cobra a commission of 5.5% of the transaction over U.S. $ 0.45 per transaction
- You do not have to wait weeks to register. In just three steps, you are empowered to charge for internet
- No contract terms
- Structure and charging simple for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week

- It is coupled with simple and complex sites
- Online via 2checkout accepts the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Diners Club, JCB and debit card with Visa and Mastercard

- Inluido management tools

- Fraud Protection: The system can also provide a secure server and digital certificates, done in real time verification of credit card.


The process is simple, the client accesses a secure site where they enter data on the credit card, 2checkout transmitting information encrypted credit card bank, which has the software to receive, decode, and confirm the transaction. Bank sends confirmation back to 2checkout and thence to the Web Site, where the client receives the message of acceptance or otherwise of the operation.

2checkout will get the money collected every 15 days by sending a check in dollars to your address. It is worth noting that if you have a bank account in the U.S. can deposit their money there.

From my part, I suggest you visit 2checkout and read the terms of use, such as this company does not accept pornographic sites, sale of weapons, fireworks, alcoholic beverages, and other drugs of this type.

Collections Off-Line "

Another way to receive payments through the scheme is "off-line or offline. The disadvantage of this system is that the client has to go somewhere to make the deposit, and the route can become discouraged from making the purchase. Moreover, distrust of sending money to a stranger is much greater than the payment by Credit Card. However, do not discard this option, because credit cards are not yet well disseminated among the Hispanic population ...

An excellent option for receiving payments off-line is:

Western Union

Western Union has offices in over 180 countries worldwide, by country and multiple offices.
The advantage is that sending and receiving money is almost instantaneous.
Its biggest drawback is that the commissions are much higher than other methods of payment.
