Accept Credit Cards in your Online Store

There are a number of ways that this type of process can be put in place. A school might use their own IT staff to develop a simple system, they might buy such a system from a school-specific vendor, or they might use a generic shopping cart system. At the core of all these approaches is credit card acceptance and some type of payment gateway. Schools are often faced with many choices and not enough information to identify the most appropriate solution for their organization.

Whether you build your own or use a 3rd party, you need to understand the credit card acceptance components: costs, compatibility with your existing systems, and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Compliance. Here is one simple example of what a build your own approach might look like in Our Demo Store.
