Secure Online Selling with PayPal
PayPal is rapidly becoming the defacto method for sending and receiving payments
through the Internet. It is extremely secure (some would say much more so than
banks!).
At Myrddin Design, ALL of our online payments are made through PayPal. You may,
of course, pay us by cheque if you prefer.
Using PayPal to Pay Us
Some people do not have PayPal accounts. You DO NOT need one in
order to pay us. You can use any Credit Card or Bank Account including Business
Accounts.
It works like this...
After we have spoken to you about the work you'd like to us to do, we will
create a secure area within our site which only you have access to. We'll
provide you with the credentials you'll need to access this area and explain how
to get in.
Here, there'll be a number of pages which you can use to manage your account
with us. One will be your payment page. There'll be a breakdown of the products
and services you have asked us to provide with clear pricing and a series of
buttons which will allow you to make payments for products and set up Scheduled
Payments for services.
At no point do we have access to your bank details: we never ask for them and
keep nothing about your account on record. PayPal handle this for us but pass no
account information to us.
Using PayPal to Receive Payment in an eCommerce Solution
If we design a site for you which accepts payments online (to you from your
clients), you DO need to set up a PayPal account. This can be a Personal
or Business account.
We can explain how to do this. It is extremely easy and secure.
Payments to you are made online and your money ends up in your PayPal account.
If you want to move it into a standard Bank Account (Personal or Business), your
PayPal Account Pages allow you to do this at the click of a button.
Again, we have no access to your PayPal or Standard banking details.
Here are some of the features we can enable in your online payment system:
- Shopping Cart,
- Scheduled Payment Setup,
- Receipt of Donations,
- Gift Certificates,
- Staggered Authentication & Capture,
(allowing you to take payment later than customer funds are secured, say when
you need to manufacture a bespoke product)
- Refunds, and
- Immediate Notification of Purchase.
