how to have ''pay by credit card'' but dont have one myself!

[stephenn]

hello
wish to set up ecommerce shop and have chosen the Zen Cart (the latest) with a host that sets it up for you....

we would wish for customers to be able to pay by credit card (but dont have one myself)..... is this possible, if so, by what method/software application.

NB. each time I have purchased on the web, I have used V3cash.com... you get a 2monthly temp VISA credit card ticket for your chosen money value... then spend the value!
If someone later found and pinched your details... they wouldnt be able to do much as it would have been spent and prob out of date.


thanks for thoughts

If the card works the same way as other cards, then you can just use the available methods (paypal webpayment pro, linkpoint,.....)

Buying online and selling online are not necessarily related. Even if you had a regular credit card, it wouldn't help any in accepting other people's cards for purchases from you.

You need to set up a merchant account with a bank or other financial institution specifically to accept credit cards online.

Alternatively, you can set up a Paypal account (premium or business, not personal) and use one of the available Paypal payment methods with your Zen Cart.
