If your looking for a way to accept credit cards from customers without the fees that come with standard merchant accounts, I have 3 solutions.

Paypal

Google Checkout

  • Free Sign Up
  • No Monthly Fees
  • No Gateway Fees
  • Low Transaction Fees (FREE* Processing if you advertise on Google Adwords)
  • Free Shopping Cart Tools

For every $1 you spend on AdWords each month, you can process $10 in sales the following month for free through Google Checkout.Sample Site: Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

Mal’s E-Commerce

  • Free Sign Up
  • No Monthly Fees
  • Free Shopping Cart Tools
  • Access to SSL Secure Server

This option allows for you to setup a shopping cart and either just collect the credit card information, or integrate the shopping cart with Paypal, Linkpoint, Authorizenet and many more.

Sample Site: Grant Me My Final Wish

Standard Merchant Accounts are also available for around $50/month and will give you the ability to run cards through an online terminal, or locally on a credit card machine.
