To make customers feel convenient, an e-Commerce site always has multiple payment options. If you own a shopping site, you may think which one payment method you must have.
1. PayPal
Now, everyone knows about PayPal. PayPal is one payment solution that allows its members to make payment without sharing Credit Card info because PayPal has stored this info in its member accounts. When its member wants to make payment, they just login to his or her PayPal account with an email address and a password. This is more convenient than having to take out the Credit Card and enter the Credit Card numbers into the payment form.
In case, a customer does not have a PayPal account, he or she can still proceed with payment without having to sign up for an account. The customer can check out by entering the Credit or Debit Card number as normal.
Plus, you can easily integrate PayPal into your shopping site because most eCommerce software supports PayPal.
2. Google Checkout
Similar to PayPal, Google Checkout also has millions of members. You can add Google Checkout buttons to your shopping site by copying and pasting few lines of code snippets.
Payment through Google Checkout is fast and convenient. For customers who have used it before, all they have to do is to enter their email address and password. If it is first time user, a new account will be created.
Because of trust factor, conversion rates tend to be higher when your shopping site offers Google Checkout as a payment option.
3. 2Checkout
This payment option has been around for many years. It allows you to accept payments by Credit or Debit Cards. When making payment, customers have to fill in their Credit Card. The payments will be sent to 2CheckOut who will verify the payments. And then, the revenues will be sent to you via direct bank transfer or check.
