Alternative Online Payment Methods Give Buyers A Choice

Identity theft is a major concern for both novice and the more seasoned online buyers. Typing in credit card information to make a purchase on the Internet may scare some buyers away. Many have chosen to setup purchasing accounts through websites such as Google Checkout, Amazon Payments and Paypal Merchant Checkout. These alternative online payment methods allow buyers to store their personal information to simplify online purchases.

Google Checkout

The Google Checkout system allows the merchant to incorporate coupons into their checkout process. While the coupon system is not as flexible as what is offered on the MaxEXP® checkout, Google is the only alternative method that allows for coupons. They also offer buyers a fraud protection payment guarantee.

Amazon Payments

There are several benefits of the Amazon payments system. Buyers can use the familiar payment process that Amazon uses including the 1 click checkout and Amazon Pay Phrase. They also benefit from the protection through the Amazon A-to-Z Guarantee. Merchants have the opportunity to upsell their own products or Amazon products. Additionally, merchants get assurance for their payments through Amazon's fraud detection services in place.

Paypal Merchant Checkout

Paypal Merchant Checkout is a popular choice for many online buyers because of its collaboration with the popular online auction site, Ebay. Paypal also allows for US and International transactions.

The MaxEXP® eCommerce System can integrate any of these alternative payment methods. The payment through MaxEXP can be processed through Authorize.Net, VeriSign or Moneris Solutions. Contact us today at 800-808-8696 or visit www.sandiegomedia.com
