Real-time credit card processing means the customer's credit card is authorized for the purchase when they place their order. Here are the basic steps you need to enable your site with real-time credit card processing.
Sign-up for e-Commerce Hosting Click the "Order
Now" button to access the PSGLink online order form. Select e-Commerce as your hosting package. Within 24 hours you can log into your control panel and install SmartECart Pro. (Note: There is a $20/month charge for
SmartECart Pro in addition to the e-Commerce package fee.)
Obtain Merchant Account
A merchant account is a financial service that approves and transfers funds between the card holder's bank and your bank. Using a merchant account is necessary for high-volume credit card processing. If your
business already accepts credit cards, you probably already have a merchant account. If you do not already have a merchant account contact Sales for a merchant service provider.
Activate Internet Payment Gateway The final step to gain real-time credit card processing is to activate an Internet Payment
Gateway. An Internet Payment Gateway takes your credit card information from the web to your merchant account for processing. SmartECart currently supports AuthorizeNet™ as an Internet Payment Gateway. Your merchant service provider can usually open an account with
AuthorizeNet for you as well. The free SmartECart manual has step-by-step instructions on how to configure your shopping cart with your Internet payment service.
