    I don't really understand your question... You could always use a payment gateway such as PayPal, Moneybookers, etc. They handle credit cards securely and are trusted.

      Hi, Gollimari.

      To accept credit card payments online, you need three things: a merchant account, a payment gateway, and the code you place on your website that connects your site to the payment gateway.

      Here are some definitions that may help to explain:It's easy to get confused about this, because some companies offer more than one of these services. For example, PayPal offers all three. They give you a merchant account and a payment gateway, and they make it easy for you to create the code for your website. (Technically PayPal lets you use their merchant account. They don't give you one of your own.)

      If you don't use PayPal, you typically have to separate these services. You obtain a merchant account from a bank, and you get payment gateway services from another company (one popular choices is Authorize.net) which will help you with the code for your website.

      Hope this helps.
