HOW TO SELL
YOUR BOOKS ONLINE BY ACCEPTING CREDIT CARDS
There are a few ways to do this, the main method
would require you to set up a merchant account
that would process your orders and take payments
on your behalf and credit the funds into an account
you have. The merchant account will normally require
an up front investment by you, often with a set
monthly fee as well and with no guarantee at this
stage that you will sell any books online, such
a method has drawbacks.
At present a sensible and very popular way for
a budding author to accept a variety of payments
for their writing, e-book or books is through
a online payment solution provider such as paypal.
A paypal account that can send and receive payments
online will cost you nothing to open or keep dormant,
it will cost nothing to have until you do actually
sell your work.
