Websites are low maintenance, inexpensive store fronts for selling locally or by mail. We can set up a musician’s website sell music downloads. We can set up an artist’s website to elegantly display their studio work. We can set up a doodad reseller to accept online payment and to organize shipping.
Having run a successful internet mail-order business for 10 years, we have much more than simple computer tech skills in this area. We know how it’s done.
A complete business can be set up quickly and easily on a website with “shopping cart” software. Some of the options for this type of software are free and some are quite expensive, depending on the features of each.
Paypal integration is the simplest method of accepting money online for smaller businesses. A merchant account is preferred for larger sales volumes because the processing rates are lower than PayPal but the requirements for establishing such a merchant account are more formal.
Any method involves the person offering the service to have a bank account and a permanent address. A merchant account requires more financial information and stability than a PayPal account.
