eCommerce

There are two ways to approach payment systems for your web site, firstly third party services such as PayPal and World Pay. Secondly, you can take credit card payments directly through your own web site.

Third Party web payment services

Whilst Paypal can be branded as your company web site, the URL will be different and the screens fixed with the Paypal input fields. It can be just as cost effective to integrate a payment solution to your web site. Further, your own credit card provider may be able to offer cheaper transaction terms.

Integrated Payments

VSI-thinking has worked with a number of third party secure payment API solutions, including CommsXL for Thomas Cook, Secure Trading for Redstone and more recently StreamServe for PM Professional.
