A customer is surfing the Internet for products and/or services. He/she comes across your web site. To make this web site visible on the internet you need to host it with a hosting company.

As the customer adds services and/or products that they wish to purchase, they are placed into a shopping cart. Once they have finished shopping on your web site they will "Check Out". They now fill out the credit card information on a secure page (SSL) on your web site to pay for their purchases.

Once the credit card information fields are completely filled out, the customer will hit "Submit". This information is then transmitted to a Credit Card Transaction Provider for authorization . The order is then either declined or accepted. This process takes about three seconds.

If the transaction is approved, the information is then transmitted to a merchant account There it will stay for about 24 to 72 hours.
The money that is in your merchant account will then be placed into your business account.
