Below is the 'demo' version of the relevant page in our e-book.

Selling Physical Goods without a Merchant Account

Companies usually supply a complete system on their server — i.e. payment gateway, credit card processing and transfer of sales receipts to a bank of your choice. Charges depend on the nature and level of business. The systems allow customers to pay by some combination of credit card, and/or 1-900 telephone billing. Merchants selling non-physical goods (subscriptions and downloadable software) should click here.
