There are a number of ways to go about accepting credit cards.\nThe first step would be setting up a website to showcase  what you want to sell.\nSecondly sign up for a secure server certificate from Verisign/Thawte\nThen sign up with a payment gateway like paypal(paypal provides services only to accredited companies and NOT individuals in SA) you will get a customised payment link and nstructions to link your site securely with theirs.\nNow you need to set up a 'secure shopping cart' for your customers to select and checkout items.\n\nThe payment providers usually credit your accoount monthly with the proceeds of the sale.\n\nyou will need to prove the following to obtain the digital certificates\n\n§ The  certificate is being  issued to the correct Company.\n§ The company owns the Internet Domain Name in the request.\n§ The Company is registered in one or more countries.\n§ The registered Company Name is the same as the name on the Certificate Request.

Pay your bills on time, don't use more than 25% of limits on cards/charge accounts, don't apply for a lot of credit (inquiries). Be consistent, and it will move up.

Set up a website. Everyone has a website these days. Put your number on it. ( Get a 1-800 number) and then change people by credit card. Better yet- do email readings. People advertise those on EBay.

I would highly recommend against this. If you want to portray a professional and authoritative image over to your customer then you want a well-design website.\n\nIt's the same idea that people don't enter credit card numbers into a website that looks weird.\n\nThis is your companies web presence. A large percentage (I believe its around 85%, but the stats may have changes) will base their view on your company by its website.\n\n\nAlthough, my opinion may be biased as I am a professional web designer. haha.

I think there are quite a few agencies that can collect the payment for you. Most recommended is "Paypal".\n\nPaypal will give you some code that you need to put on your website then anyone can make payments through there creditcard and paypal will collect it for you.\n\nhttps://www.paypal.com/us/mrb/pal=SKTWSKBV45NPS

I am willing to pay with a credit card depending on how reputable the site is. I have done a lot of shopping online, and I have yet to find a site that offers payment upon delivery.

sell an ad in the corner (sponsored by yada yada), which will cost just about what you expect to rent the machine and buy blank cards with the logo on them for. Find a sponsor that is related to your thingy and let them participate somehow (low key advertising, product placement, something of that sort)

You can type in the words mastercard and it should bring you to their site and then you can apply right online...C

If you are using a shopping cart script or you will have a custom site then you'll want an authorize.net CC processing account. it only costs about $15/month.\n\nhttp://www.authorize.net/\n\nBut considering that you didn't know that already then Pay Pal is likely your best choice as it doesn't require complicated integration with your site.\n\nCan you post or mail a link to your site and maybe some info so we can see what you're working with?\n\nThis is my site and it runs on an Authorize.net gateway.\nhttp://www.driftcali.com

Get a hosting package with DMS or CPanel X control panel.  All you'll have to do then is go to the control panel and hit a link to automatically install your shopping cart. You will likely also need to have one MySQL database available for your shopping cart.  \n\nThe carts will be in PHP or Perl most likely, so you''ll be able to edit the CSS to alter the appearance of the cart, or you can keep the look as is.  \n\nContact your current Hosting provider to see if they offer free cart software with your current hosting package.  \n\nAGORA shopping cart is an example of a free shareware shopping cart coded in Perl/MySQL.  OSCommerce is a very common solution that is PHP/MySQL.\n\nYou can also try "CoolCart.com" for an inexpensive cart.  You code on your end, and with cookies they maintain the secure check out process on their server.  That costs about 120/year. http://www.morganranchinc.com/ is a sample of that shopping cart (they sell kobe beef)\n\nJust remember, that if you don't use a third party service for pages that accept credit card information, you will need to have secure encryption for your payment page.  Your web hosting company may include that in your package, or it may cost extra.  And, if you don't use PayPal as your only credit card payment method, you will need to get some other payment gateway to be able to process credit cards.  If you have a physical store, you might already have credit card processing abilities.  If you don't, this is a serious cost you will have to consider.\n\nGood luck
