Option 1 - Accept Credit Card payments online

Some organisations merely wish to offer online credit card payments as an alternative method of payment.

Redhive can facilitate an online invoicing system that sends your users an email with a link to a credit card processing company.

PayPal and Google Checkout both charge on a Pay as you Go basis, with no monthly fees. However, there are a few key differences.

PayPal is best for international trading as you can link foreign bank accounts to achieve more flexibility with currency exchange rates.

Google Checkout is more cost effective for a straightforward, UK-based seller.

For more information about fees, please check http://www.paypal.co.uk and http://checkout.google.co.uk.

Option 2 - Sell products and services via an online store

Your online store is like a catalogue of your products and services.

Users can add items to their cart, change quantities, select delivery methods and then pay online via credit card.

It is possible to use both PayPal and Google Checkout as the credit card processing company for online stores, and pay no monthly fees.

However, for larger volumes of trading it may be more cost effective to pay a monthly fee with a company like WorldPay. This also offers seamless interaction between your own website and the credit card process, giving your company a more established feel.
