Accepting Credit Cards Online

Nickey Media has the capacity to work with your existing cart or implement an entirely new system to fit your needs -- from open source to enterprise level solutions.

Requirements to process credit card transactions through your Web site are:

• Registration with the Secretary of State
  Including a commercial bank account
  
  
• Online merchant accounts:
  Verisign, 2Checkout.com, Paypal, Authorize.net
  
  
• Privacy and Security Policies
  Required for Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance
  
  
• Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Certificate
  A protocol used to secure transactions and the integrity of data being transferred electronically.
  
  
• Dedicated IP Address
  Authenticates the server and SSL certificate with one identifying address to ensure security
  
  
• Sales Tracking and Tax Reporting

Third Party Processors

While Nickey Media will support the use of Third Party Processors to complete transactions, many disadvantages should be known:

• Consumer Confidence
  Customers are much more comfortable dealing with companies directly instead of relying on outside sources or Web sites to handle their personal information. In short, users do not want to leave your site to pay for an item after beginning the checkout process.



• Security
  The more data is being transferred over multiple networks, the more susceptible it is to being corrupted

Third Party Processors can also be an advatage when "testing the waters" of a particular market.

• Low start-up costs to test marketing strategies
• Establishes an understanding of how online commerce transactions are handled
• Provides innovative guidance to the direction of your online transaction needs.
