Your eStore is designed to run 24 hours a day 7 days a week in a totally automated and unattended fashion.  This includes capturing the order and processing your customer's credit card information in a real time fashion and emailing you a copy of the order confirmation for fulfillment.

However in order to accept credit cards from your customers you will need a merchant account and a processing gateway system supported by impact web systems.   We have negotiated with the merchant account processors and now offer these services to our system users that qualify for a one time setup cost of $199 that's up to $200 off our regular setup cost!   You will need to complete a simple application process to get approved to accept credit cards.  The application only takes about 30 minutes, but the review and approval process will take a few days to accomplish, so please plan accordingly and give yourself some extra time to get everything in place (1-2 weeks recommended).  Once approved, enabling your store to accept credit cards is simple and only takes a couple of seconds. Your impact web systems site already has the linkage to several gateways built right into it so there is no programming or code for you to worry about.

Your credit card processing fees will depend upon the number and dollar amount of your transactions. 

In addition, your Gateway provider, usually charges $10 per month for its gateway services.  Along with the processing of your credit cards in an efficient, fast, real-time fashion you will also receive a virtual terminal.  This is simply a location on the server where you can log-in and then key-in and process transactions manually should you need to.  Here are a few examples of when you might need this:

1. Your customer places an order at your store but prefers to call you with his credit card info.  You can process the charge right from your browser in the VT.
2. You decide to attend a trade show and take a few orders while you are there.  The VT will let you processing on the spot so long as you have Internet connection from a computer or Palm Pilot.
3. A customer returns an item.  You can process the credit right in the VT.

There is a great deal of difference in the quality of both merchant providers and gateway providers.  
impact web systems offers world-class customer service and several world leading gateway providers. 
We highly recommend you stick with these quality services for your business to avoid down time, processing errors, long hold times and other frustrations with poorer quality providers.
