People just starting their online business often run into a snag - how to accept payments without a merchant account. Perhaps they can't get an account, or are worried that they will be refused due to a spotty credit history. This can be the hardest part about setting up an online business.

The good news is you don't need a merchant account to accept payments. There are at least two great options that will let you accept credit cards without actually having a merchant account.

There is a third option that can help you set up a merchant account, even if you think you don't qualify. This method doesn't work for everyone, but it can help 99% of people setting up their business.

These three solutions can help solve your payment problems:

Clickbank

For a small fee of around $50, you can accept credit card payments, even e-checks, for products that are bought and sold online. It's easy and convenient. Clickbank handles all the details - they process the payment, deduct a small fee for their services, and then send you a check. They also handle your affiliate programs, deal with refunds, and even do simple bookkeeping tasks. Some people think this is too expensive, but I disagree. With all that value, it's a fair trade.

PayPal

It has been proven that having PayPal on your sales page boosts conversions. If you offer PayPal as a payment option, you will make more sales. In addition, just like Clickbank, they handle the whole payment transaction for you. People can pay with any major credit card through PayPal. They don't even need to have a PayPal account! Many people don't realize that, but it's true!

PowerPay

So you still want a real merchant account, not a work-around like Clickbank or PayPal? You may still qualify for a merchant account, even if your credit is spotty or you have been turned down before. Visit this site: PowerPay at http://ipowerpay.com - the best merchant account for online marketers. Judd Smith and his people at PowerPay have experience with online marketers.

Take the worry out of setting up your merchant account. Try one of these simple solutions, and get ready to collect payments, fast!
