wagner Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Anybody have experience setting up online payment options for a small business? I am trying to get a handle on how to setup my payment options without making it to complex. I really don’t have a desire to have a full blown payment deal that I have to maintain. I was looking more towards what options PayPal offers (they handle the data, people can pay how they want, ect). For the website I was actually thinking of going the Wordpress route to keep it simple and easy to update for myself. Option B was setting up an Etsy storefront and when people want to order sending them to that. Same concept, just different execution. What experiences have some of you had with e-commerce related things of this nature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 There are lots of ecommerce options with wordpress but I usually use wp-ecommerce: http://getshopped.org/ It integrates with paypal and is a pretty "clean" and easy to use system.

I might have to dive into that more at home tonight, but that looks close to what I will need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. If you know your way around basic code you can get a template from http://www.themeforest.net I used to hard code, I now only use these templates. I used the "Builder" theme to make my site: http://www.kiosksolutions.biz (Though I don't use e-commerce). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I know from a consumer standpoint I don't care as much who it goes through, as long as they are or are perceived as being reputable and (relatively) secure. I want it to be easy. Which means not to have to sign up for your site since I'm probably buying something there once and don't want your spam. I don't want to get kicked over to pay-pal or some other site. And even if I don't sign up for your site you still need to send me shipping updates as well as somehow allow me to check order status on your site.

silas Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 At work we do big sales so we always use the big guys (authorize.net, etc). For smaller stuff I would use https://stripe.com/, https://www.braintreepayments.com/ both offer JS APIs so you don't have to handle PCI stuff yourself. http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/so-you-want-to-accept-credit-cards-online/ Tutorial for Stripe.
