Payment Gateways
iWeb make sure your customer feel secure when shopping online.
Being able to pay safely and securely is the first thing customers look for when buying online.
New ecommerce websites don't have a trustworthy reputation - so it's important to choose recognised payment solutions and partners to reassure potential buyers. A professional ecommerce design can also help to gain visitor trust - something that comes as standard with all ecommerce websites we build.
Before you can take card payments online you need an Internet Merchant Account - these are readily available from leading banks. An Internet Merchant Account doesn't give you the ability to take online payments but does provide an account to deposit funds into. Only when you have an Internet Merchant Account can you sign up to a trusted payment gateway.
The popularity of the payment gateway you choose can be a decisive factor - SagePay, WorldPay, PayPal, Google Checkout are all known brands but each has their own benefits - when you start to work with us we'll guide you to the right solution.
When using a payment gateway - you can normally choose whether you want to use their payment pages or your own. Using their payment pages means your online payment system is always up to date, using your own gives you more control but may require additional development to stay operational as the credit card providers introduce more security. Again, we'll advice you on the best route forward.
SSL certificates are also a great way to gain customer trust - and again, there are known providers who will readily let you put their logos on your websites; VeriSign and Thawte.
