E-Commerce

It's easy to get confused and even frustrated when you're working to get your products online -- Merchant accounts, Authorization services, Payment gateways and APIs, Security issues, and Shopping carts. The ability to collect money online usually requires several different components working together. The Four Basic Components of Taking Money Over a Web Site:

A way of collecting (or saving) items to be purchased: A Shopping Cart
A secure way of obtaining Payment Information for purchases: SSL Security
A way to process payment information: Payment Processing Gateway
A way to obtain the funds you just processed: Merchant Account
