 Authorize.net will secure your website and allow you to accept credit cards and capture the necessary customer information (name, address, credit card number, etc). The eCommerce credit card information is encrypted using a 128 bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and is sent to our eCommerce transaction processing server (or any other eCommerce Credit Card Processor). When the authorization process is complete, the customer receives an approval or decline response. On average, transactions take between 3 and 5 seconds. As the merchant, you can login at any time and view the eCommerce transactions that have taken place. Your e-commerce account will include the Virtual Credit Card Terminal and the option of adding a card reader. Click here for information about Authorize.net

Shopping Carts: There are more than 200 eCommerce shopping carts available (some are free) for your website and we will help you to choose one that will be best suited to your business needs.
Incorporating a shopping cart into your website will create a “virtual checkout” for your customers. Products can be easily selected and added to the cart. Shipping and sales tax (if any) are automatically calculated and the order is placed. A shopping cart turns browsers into buyers.

How does an Internet/e-Commerce account work?
•The eCommerce Payment Gateway is what secures your website and allows customers to enter their credit card information into a secured / encrypted eCommerce check out page.
•The eCommerce gateway will then submit the payment information to your credit card processor for a real-time authorization. Once the Credit Card transaction is complete, you and your customer will receive a confirmation email. You will be able to log into your website to check on current and past credit card transactions.
