Processing Credit Card Payments

To accept credit card payments online, a merchant account and payment processor are needed. The best way to process payments in an online store is with an online payment gateway that connects seamlessly to your website checkout. An online payment processor can process the credit card payment at the time the order is placed, as well as verify the credit card holder's billing address to help protect against fraudulent transactions. SmartCart is compatible with all popular payment processors.
