PayPal

If you are just getting started online I recommend utilizing PayPal for any online payments. You are going to learn an enormous amount of information your first 6-12 months establishing an online presence. It’s very likely the direction you are headed will change completely at some point.

Also, it’ll take time to build your online client base. As you do so you will want to keep your overhead expenses low.

PayPal is free and that means less risk and more freedom as you establish your online presence. Plus, most online shoppers are familiar with PayPal and therefore are comfortable making a purchase using this service.

PayPal – Website Payments Standard

If you do not already have a PayPal account, you can sign up for one at no cost at http://paypal.com. For right now all you need is the free Business – Website Payments Standard. This allows customers to shop on your website, click a Buy Now link or button, and be redirected to a secure PayPal checkout page. You are able to customize the checkout page by adding your logo to the top.

All the best,
