Setting up an online payment system doesn’t have to be difficult. Our short guide explains how to get started and how to create the perfect platform for your business. Simply following these steps with Agile Payment Solutions:
1. Define Your Payment Goals
Start by identifying your payment goals. What are you aiming to achieve? Consider factors like ease of use, budget, security, and integration with your website or app. Clear objectives will help guide you in the right direction.
2. Choose the Right Payment Gateway
Select a payment gateway that fits your business needs. Compare options based on transaction fees, payment methods, and security features. Popular gateways include Elavon, Barclays, Worldpay, PayPal, and Stripe. Choose the one that best suits your business.
3. Prioritise User Experience
Our platforms are designed to ensure that customers can navigate quickly and easily. Agile Payment Solutions offers bespoke systems that can be customised to meet your business’s exact requirements, which we’ll discuss during the system specification stage.
4. Integrate the Payment Gateway
Once you’ve chosen your gateway and finalised the system specifications, we’ll integrate it into your Online Payment Platform. Most gateways offer plugins or APIs that simplify the process.
The platforms we provide are white-labeled and designed to reflect your company’s branding.
5. Ensure Strong Security
Security is essential when handling payments. Our developers implement encryption and fraud protection to safeguard your customers’ sensitive information, ensuring your system complies with UK payment regulations and data protection laws.
Additionally, all payments are verified in line with the PCI Security Standards.
6. Test the System
Before launching, we thoroughly test the system using dummy transactions to confirm everything works smoothly, from processing payments to sending receipts.
7. Launch and Monitor
Once everything is in place, we’ll launch your system and monitor its performance. We’ll gather feedback and make adjustments as needed to ensure smooth operations.
By following these steps, you can create an online payment system that meets your business needs and provides a seamless experience for your customers.
Conclusion
Setting up an online payment system is essential for growing your business without increasing the size of your accounts receivable team. With the right tools, solid security measures, and a focus on customer experience, you can create a system that boosts sales, enhances customer satisfaction, and keeps your business secure.
