Question:

What is a cheap way to accept online credit card payment info (but perform the actual transactions by hand)?

I am making a website for someone who wants to accept payments online. The group already has a merchant account, so they can perform the credit card transactions by hand. They just need a secure service that will store the credit card information for later access. We don't have a secure server, and would like to find a 3rd party service that can do this for cheap (or even free!). The group is a non-profit, if that makes a difference.


Answers:

1) Avoid storing credit cards information, unless and untill its the only way to go. There are some Payment Gateway services, if you want to accept payments in USD then check out PayPal for INR check out ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, some other private players.

2) all this information makes a very big difference. This is actually exactly what I do. I would avoid paypal and the fees they charge. Your better off going with a processing company You should contact me at mbader@prairieprocessing.com I could give you several ideas or you could give my contact information to the group
