Marc, If you're going to go to the cost of adding credit card transactions to your website, you'd better be a business. The cost is phenomenal! (Unless you're like me and get in on a great deal.) My new site will have that capability, if I ever get it finished! But it is very expensive normally. Fanderson simply may find it too expensive to do at this time. Eventually, however, they'll need to consider it, because sales will increase dramatically once they add it.

Straker, somehow it's always about you.

I have a friend who runs a website that accepts credit cards, this
cost does vary greatly between merchants, so it pay to shop around. But this overhead is more than offset by the number of impulse purchases generated, by having a credit card facility. There is also Paypal which is a low cost method for accepting credit cards. Most kit manufactures like CaptCardboard have gone down this route, so there must be something in it.

Good point -- this doesn't cost anything at all up front, they simply take out a small percentage from each transaction. Heck, even *I'm* signed up to accept credit cards through PayPal, just for simple fan-to-fan transactions! Marc |
