Internet Processing Software
This is most popular choice of our merchants, and it also has the lowest price. This is the option for any business that has a Web site on the Internet. It is the most powerful and flexible method of credit card processing available anywhere. It enables both automated processing for Web site orders and manual processing of e-mail, telephone, faxed, mail order, and face-to-face sales. It enables your Web site to automatically process credit card orders securely whenever your customers enter them, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After your customer submits payment information, his or her credit card will be charged within a few seconds, without you having to do anything. After an order is placed, you will receive an email with all of your customer's information, so you can fill the order. If you are selling information, password access, or anything else that can be delivered directly on the World Wide Web, your Web site can deliver it immediately when your customer's credit card is approved. The funds will appear in your bank account within two to three business days.

In addition to processing credit cards in real time, you will also get a Virtual Terminal. This will allow you to process orders that are placed by telephone, by mail, or in person. It is a Web-based credit card processing terminal that has all the features of an electronic keypad terminal and more. It keeps detailed records of every transaction, and generates invoices that you can print out. In addition, it allows you to set up automatic recurrent billing (such as for payment plans or monthly subscriptions).
