If credit cards are the only payment method you offer on your Web site, you might be turning away customers who prefer paying by check.

Many merchant account providers (MAPs), which process credit card payments, offer some form of Electronic Fund Transfer(EFT) or e-check payment as well. Charge.com is one of these MAPs, offering free e-check acceptance setup when you acquire a merchant account through them.
  • PayByCheck.com
    PayByCheck.com pioneered Internet check cashing and provides a full service approach that requires less technical expertise than the other options. PayByCheck hosts your payment page, prints checks and sends them to you in the mail, screens for fraud and, for a fee, collects on returned checks. For greater security, payment information is entered on a Web page hosted on servers located in a bank. An online gateway allows merchants to monitor and analyze check activity.
