Why Online Payments?
What is Online Payment?
Online payment is a term used to describe the practice of accepting payment
for goods or services over the internet using credit cards, electronic
checks (eChecks) or PayPal. Online payments can be accepted by almost
any business and the setup is simple thanks to 2ndSite. A merchant account
from an accredited banking institution is required to accept credit card
payments online, and credit cards are currently the most common means
by which businesses accept online payment. A second option is PayPal.
Over 40 million consumers and businesses alike have chosen PayPal to accept
their online payments. A third option, and perhaps the fastest growing
online payment method is ACH/eChecks
transactions. In the first half of 2004, over 340 million eChecks
we processed in the United States alone, and all that is required to accept
eChecks is a valid US Checking Account.

Spend Less Time Invoicing and Save Money Doing It
You can save your business thousands of dollars invoicing your clients online.
Invoicing, for most businesses, is a costly but necessary process. Emailing
invoices instead of posting or faxing still may be helping you save money,
but it still requires you to call to see if your check arrived and it still
requires you to check your mail, update your records and make a trip to
the bank to deposit your check when it is finally delivered to you. All
the time you spend doing these unproductive tasks could be spent focusing
on your work. Now you can reduce your time to process an invoice to one
minute. Simply prepare your invoice and click "Save and Notify Your Client".
Your bank account and your records will be automatically updated. Your cash
flow will be improved substantially.
