The two basics

[mini_0]

There are two ways you can add e-commerce capabilities to your website:

1. Having your own merchant account

2. Using third party processors

If you are just starting an online business and you don’t think that your sales will generate more than a thousand dollars a month, you will be better of with a third party processor. However, once your sales become a few thousand you will save a bundle by switching to a merchant account.
