If you sell products or services online, surely you've got to accept credit cards... But there are so many alternatives and you may end up being robbed of your hard-earned profits...

And you also need an e-commerce solution that is  competitively priced...

Pay Pal Merchant

Taking the above requirements into consideration, if your home Internet business is planning to sell intangibles such as services, content or email delivered goods, one of the best credit card processing products in the marketplace is the one offered by Pay Pal - the solution currently adopted by Profits.CC

It is very easy to implement a "do-it-yourself" e-commerce solution with PayPal.
These PayPal video tutorials are very "user-friendly" - that's how I've learnt to implement the PayPal Buy Now button at Profits.CC without having to hire a Web developer.

In terms of transaction costs, PayPal charges both Premier and Business accounts to receive credit card payments.  Premier and Business Accounts are normally charged the Standard Rate (i.e. 2.9% + 30¢) for receiving payments, unless they qualify for the Merchant Rate (i.e. 2.2% + 30¢). 

Pay Pal Preferred fees are calculated by subtracting 1.5% debit card cashback from the Standard and Merchant Rate fees.  eCheck payments have a maximum fee of $5.
There is an additional 1% fee for payments received from a user in another country. This fee is currently waived for Canadian sellers receiving payments from U.S. buyers.

You'll qualify for the Merchant Rate given above if you are a member in good standing (i.e. who are not restricted and do not have unresolved chargebacks) and a PayPal member for at least 90 days, and received $3,000 in PayPal payments over the previous 90 days (an average of $1,000/month) OR received a competitive offer from an established merchant account provider OR if you are a proven long-standing, high-volume eBay seller (as you know, eBay has acquired PayPal).

 

Click Bank

Another excellent credit card processing option is Click Bank, particularly if you are also looking for an instant affiliate network promoting your digital products.
With them...

• your customers will access to your digital product in real-time.
• you'll enable 100,000 affiliates to promote your products.
• you'll be able to recruit new affiliates to promote your product.
• your affiliates will be provided with real-time sales reporting.
• Yourself and your affiliates will receive a paycheck twice each month.
• ClickBank accepts customer orders via online checks, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Eurocard, Bravo, Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, and Novus. From each sale amount, they keep $1 + 7.5% and pay you (and your affiliate) the rest as a commission.
• ClickBank has a one-time $49.95 activation fee, and no monthly fees.

Surely there are many other alternatives for you to accept credit cards internationally. But the ones given above are amongst the best options you can get - rest assured on that.
