Reflect Posts: 4769 From: USA Status: offline	Ways to accept payments??? - 7/25/2006 21:44:08 Hi, I have a friend who lives in West Province South Africa. He has been doing local web design but was unsure how to branch out to accept work globally. He currently is a cash basis type situation. His issue is where he is living so I am unsure what to recommend to him for a payment processor. He is not looking to take payment via e-commerce, just to be able to accept electronic transactions for freelance work and site development (code for hire ). Take care and thank you, Brian _____________________________

Africa address, he might be able to get one in the US for a yearly fee, and signup using that. _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to Reflect)

Brian, why are you asking on his behalf? Did you invite him to join Outfront? Nicole _____________________________ (in reply to BobbyDouglas)

Have you looked into this new Google payment thing. Not sure if it'll do what he needs though. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Reflect Posts: 4769 From: USA Status: offline	RE: Ways to accept payments??? - 7/26/2006 8:03:05 Nicole, Being a friend I was trying to help. I will suggest the above to him. Any other thoughts? Thank you, Brian _____________________________ (in reply to jaybee)


Reflect Posts: 4769 From: USA Status: offline	RE: Ways to accept payments??? - 7/26/2006 8:09:01 Turns out Pay Pal is not an issue, called Pro support. Thanks for the pointers . Take care, Brian _____________________________ (in reply to Reflect)

The URL is https://checkout.google.com/sell I have a feeling this is eventually going to be a universal way of paying online. _____________________________ Site Build It Success. As Real As It Gets.

TonyT Posts: 188 Joined: 9/30/2003 From: Vancouver, WA Status: offline	RE: Ways to accept payments??? - 7/26/2006 16:13:34 Actually, I haven't yet, but it seems that most of Google's stuff turns to gold. It would be my first choice if I were selling products online. PayPal and I don't get along very well Thanks for the re-welcome! haha. I've been working on my Site Build It site and playing a lot of WoW. Good things for a growing boy like me! =] _____________________________ Site Build It Success. As Real As It Gets.

jaybee Posts: 14152 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	RE: Ways to accept payments??? - 7/26/2006 16:20:51 Actually I've just been reading through the rules. It's a bit restrictive. You MUST use their buttons and at the sizes they specify and you MUST put them in certain places and they MUST be on every product......... _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

It's still in beta though. Maybe they'll ease up on the reigns a bit. _____________________________ Site Build It Success. As Real As It Gets. (in reply to jaybee)


jaybee Posts: 14152 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	RE: Ways to accept payments??? - 7/26/2006 16:25:26 Hope so or I'm sticking with Paypal, Nochex and Fastpay. I can use any button I want with them. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to TonyT)


Reflect Posts: 4769 From: USA Status: offline	RE: Ways to accept payments??? - 7/27/2006 8:57:06 Yeah, I did check them out. I felt the same as Jaybee, too confining. I, for low end setups, always use Pay Pal Pro API, never have had an issue. Also the virtual terminal works a charm for when we get phone calls to purchase. For a full blown setup for payments I normally go with Authorize.Net, they rock. Good to see you back Tony . Take care, Brian _____________________________ (in reply to jaybee)

eTechSupport.net Posts: 48 Joined: 8/24/2005 Status: offline	RE: Ways to accept payments??? - 8/8/2006 9:28:44 I think he can only send money by creating a paypal account from south Africa, alternatively he should check with cardservice as other option. < Message edited by eTechSupport.net -- 8/10/2006 10:58:56 > (in reply to Reflect)


Reflect Posts: 4769 From: USA Status: offline	RE: Ways to accept payments??? - 8/8/2006 10:10:41 You are correct. He is seeking to get a US address at this point. Sort of funny as I called PPP directly and talked to a new account rep. . Take care, Brian _____________________________ (in reply to eTechSupport.net)
