Methods of Payment used on the Internet

Credit Cards

Internet credit card transaction processing can be done in three ways:
Manual offline processing (secure credit card capture) - You can collect the orders via snail mail, fax, phone, or credit card capture in your shopping cart (options provided by Etherlinx carts).
