I would like to sell some adult DVD or VCD online (not download site,i sell the products)

but I don't know how getting start to apply online payment system for my site.

I saw lots of payment Gate Way Company in this forum , but don't know which one should I use ( I live in Canada)

Does any one can simply explain the step of apply payment system (for example : first step ==>apply Merchant Account and then...........)


Sorry !!! it maybe a stupid question


Thank you for your help!!

Well since you are in Canada & I am assuming your business & banks are also based in Canada, I would suggest to check out PSIGate or Paysystems.

Now - what shopping cart are you going to use? PHP or ASP?

Do not apply for a merchant account until you are ready to use it (unless you are not charged on a monthly basis). No need to pay for something you do not use. We get about 10 clients a month who want to get their merchant account - yet they do not even have a website. I always tell them to wait.

First step - get a domain name. Then get someone to design / develop the site. Find a hosting company that suports the language that your cart was built in. Usually PHP is in *NIX flavors & ASP / .NET is on Windows. Most gateways will give you a test account to test your settings & connectivity. I would also get an SSL cert.

Now you already have your inventory, right? :) Apply for your merchant account - get approved & your set to go.

Make sure that PSIGate or PaySystems will approve your account for adult DVD's, etc. as well before moving too far towards integrating into them.

OK

thank you!!!

in fact I already developed the site that I wish to run and I have my dedicated server too (I running another wbe site for year).

But this time is my first time to setup the pay system

so right now,

I got these thing done:

1.domain name
2.The website
3.A dedicated server

and I still need

1. Shopping Cart ( I don't know where to get the program, I would like to use chinese shopping cart)

2.Bank? yes I have bank account in Canada

3.Payment Gate Way (PSIGate or PaySystems ? Can you tell me more how to do!!)

Thank you for your help!!!

Here are their websites: http://www.psigate.com/ & http://www.mypaysystems.com/. I would send them an e-mail and ask them if they support the type of products you are selling. Being in Canada - it might be a little more difficult. The banks up there do not support a lot of high risk (adult - video text, etc) services.

I tried to search for chinese shopping cart but nothing came up. What language are you looking for the cart?
