Hi,

Please inform me .

You need to a merchant account, either at your bank or a merchant account provider.

Search google.com for "merchant accounts"

I used http://www.etransfer.net

What else we have to do. Thanks for reply, but i really don't know what else should i do ??
Get a merchant account ?
THEN :confused:
install SSL (which i don't know how to)
and the site you use also looks like a third party processor.

You could become a bank.

otherwise you have to use some type of 3rd party for processing.

But there are good ones like card services, or somewhat limited crappy ones.. like what i use 2checkout

The site I use is NOT a 3rd party processor, that are a merchant account provider. They set my merchant account up through Humboldt Bank in California, utilized through the authorize.net gateway.

With a 3rd party processor, they charge the card for you on your behalf, their name is on your customer's card statement.

On the other hand I have access to my own terminal and process the cards myself, my company name shows on my customer's credit card statement.

Also keep in mind, to get a merchant account you may need a monthly minimum, like $500 or more per month in transactions.

Most 3rd party processors don't require this.
