A Merchant's Guide to E-Commerce Payment Gateways

If you don't already have Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader, you can download a FREE copy here. You'll find you'll use it a lot. If you need to open the Zipped version, you'll need to install a program like WinZip. Unfortunately I can't answer questions about these tools. I just don't have the staff.

One of the most important e-commerce decisions you'll make is your choice of a payment gateway, the bridge or gateway between your e-commerce website and your bank's credit card processor. A number of factors go into the decision, and you can't afford to make the wrong choice. In this e-book I'll share my conclusions after 60+ hours of research, feedback from my world-wide network of readers about their experiences -- both good and bad -- with the payment gateways they've tried, and sound recommendations to guide your decisions.

Here's the table of contents for this 119-page report in PDF format that was published August 1, 2001.

If you just don't know where to start with a merchant account and payment gateway -- know if your really need either -- you need to read this Merchant's Guide. It includes information on 90 payment gateways -- such as VeriSign, Authorize.net, and WorldPay -- from 27 countries (see the full list), with candid user comments from 72 readers in 15 countries. The report also includes a chapter entitled, "At What Point Is a Merchant Account Better Than PayPal or CCNow?"

Here's what one subscriber to my e-commerce newsletter said when he saw this "Merchant's Guide E-Commerce Payment Gateways" featured in a recent issue: Dear Dr. Wilson, How much did I pay you for my subscription to Web Marketing Today Premium? Whatever the price, it was far too little, considering the wealth of information I have received from you in each issue. This latest issue, for example, is simply awesome; what an incredible amount of relevant, useful information you've crammed into just this one issue. Thank you so very much; you truly deserve the success (and the excellent reputation) that you have achieved. All the best, Mike McBride
