Testimonial - "Holly, Thanks for getting those changes made quickly. I think the SFTA is blessed to have you for the web master. We have had many good comments about the site, especially the way the Last Chance Store looks on line. You deserve the credit for that. Yes, and taking credit cards are helping business (even more than I had expected, like nearly doubled it). Everything worked without a problem! Keep up the good work.

What else will I need to be able to accept credit cards? - If you are looking into starting an e-commerce web site business, you will need a shopping cart to have a piece of software that can take your customers orders, calculate shipping and handling and tax and give them a final total and pass the total to your electronic gateway (below)...that is another piece of software that is the go-between your merchant account (above) and your shopping cart. Miva Merchant is your shopping cart answer. This shopping cart software is a dynamic browser based storefront development and management system that allows merchants to create and administrate multiple online stores from anywhere in the world.

Electronic Gateway - Once you have your web site, your shopping cart and have opened a merchant account and a business bank account, now you need a third-party processor (or Electronic Gateway Software) to have a mechanism for processing credit card payments. This piece of secure software, sends the total that was calculated in the shopping cart, to actually take the money out of the customers credit card in real time and send it to the merchant account, that then sends it to your business bank account as a deposit within 48 hours. We provide the Authorize.net electronic gateway services. Click here for more info on this gateway...
