Accepting credit card on your web sites can be a difficult task if you don't know where to begin. Let the experts at Parson Enterprises, LLC explain how it works and what you need to get started. Our Payment Gateway accounts enable you to authorize, settle, and manage credit card and electronic check payments.

Secure and Flexible Integration Options

We enable all types of merchants to accept secure and reliable credit card and electronic check payments quickly and easily.

We offer flexible application programming interfaces (APIs) with no licensing fees. Choose one of the three processes below to get started.

1. Do It Yourself Our easy-to-implement Simple Checkout allows customers to purchase single items (in any quantity) using our hosted payment form. Simply enter appropriate item information, and HTML code is created to insert Donate or Buy Now buttons into your Web site.

2. Contract a Certified Developer If you need the expertise and convenience of a Web developer to implement your payment gateway integration, we highly recommend you choose an Authorize.Net Certified Developer. To get started, please visit www.authorize.net/cdd.

3. Select a Turnkey Solution Choosing a turnkey solution is often the easiest and most practical integration method. There are several Authorize.Net solutions that enable you to submit transactions immediately, as well as hundreds of certified, third-party solutions.

E-commerce Merchants - Shopping carts automatically connect your Web site to the payment gateway, allowing you to accept payments immediately.

Retail and Mobile Merchants - Point-of-sale (POS) solutions include our own Virtual Point of Sale (VPOS) as well as numerous third party card swipe terminals, software solutions, self-service kiosks and mobile devices.

Mail Order/Telephone Order (MOTO) Merchants - Our Payment Gateway accounts come standard with browser-based Virtual Terminal and Batch Upload capabilities for submitting manual transactions anytime.

To process payments through your web site you will need a web site with shopping cart software, a merchant account and a payment gateway.

Our Gateway Accounts interface with multiple shopping cart software programs including GoDaddy.com services. You can get a domain name and hosting from GoDaddy but get the Gateway and Merchant Account from us.

Parson Enterprises, LLC can help you establish a merchant account and a payment gateway account. We can refer you to web site designers we work with that can design and set up shopping cart software.

A payment gateway is a credit card terminal for your web site. It serves the same purpose but is not tangible like a credit card terminal. Its job is to take the transactions from your web site and send it to the processing bank to seek an approval, or decline, and return it to your web site so you can complete the transaction (or ask for another form of payment). But, instead of having a human being entering the transaction into a credit card terminal and then reacting to the response (approved or declined), your web site is sending over the information on your behalf and reacting to the results based on your web site's programming.
