An E-Commerce Shopping Cart - start making money today

If you have ever made a purchase online you would have used an e-commerce shopping cart to make your payment.

The most recognized one is PayPal, but they are not the only processor available to use online.

However, all online credit card payments are processed the same.

There are 5 components to processing a credit card online.

• The first is the customer's credit card. There can be no transaction of funds without the credit card.
• Second is the shopping cart. This is a necessary step for collecting information such as product name and quantity, name and shipping address of customer, and more.
• Next, the encrypted data is sent from the shopping cart to the merchant by way of the gateway. It is screened for fraud, and if the card is found to be good the transaction is authorized.
• Now we add in the internet merchant account. They verify whether the credit card or debit card have the funds available. If the funds are there, the transaction is approved and the money is then placed into a checking account.
• Lastly, the checking account. This account receives and holds the money from all approved online sales transactions. The funds can then be withdrawn by you at any time.

If you planning to start on online business you can either have the shopping cart as an independent piece of software or you can integrate it into your own online solution. Some services also offer to create and host the e-commerce shopping cart for you.
