Your website and PayPal
Article written 2010/07/21 by Pageseven Studios staff writer PG7Daniel
We have been focusing a bit on PayPal in the past weeks. Since it is a new tool to South African residents, finally available through the kind people at Standard Bank, it is time for the masses to start using it.
There NO other banks at this stage that supports this, and we agree that it is an absolute shame since not every person interested is going to have a Standard Bank account!
However, focusing on a more positive side - since the inception there are over a million users accounts created, due to it being such a safe medium and very easy for end users to use.
PayPal voids the need for any merchant account status that other banks force you to get should you want to accept Credit Card payments on your website.
Since merchant registration is archaic, redundant and makes it impossible for most people to accept Credit Card transactions it has had a detrimental effect on businesses.
So what is so great about PayPal then I hear you ask - well PayPal works as an intermediary, processing payments on your behalf and dealing with the banks to distribute the funds.
They provide some DIY options for you, but these can be tricky if you want to be sure of your money, as these can be altered and even end up costing you money if done incorrectly!
Pageseven Studios have a specially designed framework that works perfectly with PayPal and allows us to incorporate PayPal's Pay Now! functionality on your site with ease, eliminating any fraud shortfalls the DIY options may have.
Such an integration enables you the website owner, to receive payments for services or products and allows you to manage your funds directly from PayPal and even transfer it over to your bank account with a click in to your bank account.
In short, these new possibilities allows your site and business to grow and earn money online, so should you want to make the move then give Pageseven Studios a call today.
