How do I setup my site to accept credit cards?
A merchant account is a required to accept credit cards. The first step is to obtain a merchant account. If you choose, you can signup for a merchant account or if you have an existing account you can have that one setup for your store as well. To process transactions online you must have an account with an internet credit card processing gateway. We support all the main processing gateways (Authorize.net, Link Point and Verisign) and many others are also available. Check with your merchant account provider to see which gateways they can support.
