Credit Cards

[scytha]

I am completely confused. I selected for me to be able to select credit cards, and the option is there when I go through the whole shopping cart thing. But how do I get the money? Who is authorizing the cards?

I know it is a silly question, but I am fairly new at this. Thanks in advance.

you will need to get a merchant account to be able to accept CC
there is one listed Here

Once you have the merchants account you will need to activate the correct module in your ZC admin

the CC module that you have activated is for collecting CC numbers to MANUALLY run through your swipe machine or virtual terminal

Thanks a ton. One last question. What is the gateway fee and the statement fee? Are they monthly recurring charges or something only charged when I request something?

you will pay
gateway fees
merchant fees
statement fees
and discount fees and per transaction fees

This whole area is confusing.

What is cheaper for say 10 transactions x $100 each a day.

- Merchant account

- PayPal with ~3.7% per transaction

- Live Credit Card processing somehow.
