Merchant websites that promote their products by clever use of keywords and understand how to make money with Google also need to have the facility for securely taking money online.
The simplest route to taking money online is to sign up with one of the major payment providers such as Paypal, Cardsave or Worldpay. For your customers, payment providers are often regarded as the securest way to paying for items online as they are world renowned whereas a merchant’s website may be unknown.
However, for merchants looking to make money from Google searches, losing a slice of commission off every deal to an organisation such as Paypal can really add to the overheads, especially when margins are very narrow and competition is fierce. Also, Paypal requires your customers to have previously registered with the organisation which can make certain shoppers look to shop elsewhere. The simple solution is to offer shoppers a choice of payment options.
For example there are payment providers that take credit cards and are highly secure but they also offer flexible methods of payment such as non-card options including Giropay, Neteller and iDeal. SagePay is one of the online payment providers that charges a flat fee regardless of the number of transactions. This can work out cheaper than organisations such as Paypal and if Paypal is required, SagePay accepts payments via that route.
Everyone is conce
ed about online security and so even with secure online payment via a renowned payment provider it is advisable for websites undertaking eCommerce to be SSL registered, or TLS, which stands for Transport Layer Secure and encourages shoppers to continue with their online transaction, in the knowledge that their online purchasing is as safe as can be.
To sum up, the idea of a merchant website is to make money from Google searches by taking payment via various methods. To earn cash with Google takes hard work but it can be very rewarding as long as the choice of payment provider when taking money online does not take too much off the top.
