Hello

first of all please bare with me because i am totally new to this stuff and i might say/ ask stupid things.

Now, i am planning to start my own web hosting business. i want my clients to pay via credit card and other general payments methods. what i want to know that is there a service which transfers the payment to my paypal after successfull order?

For example:

Client Signs up > pays via any payment method > order confirmed, payment recieved > money sent to my paypal account (the payment processing service may cut their service charge?)

thank you.

Not that I have heard of before. All payment processors I have worked with either send a cheque or wire the money. The only time I have received money at PayPal is if I put it there my self with the credit card assigned or if customers pay via PayPal.

Why not just use PayPal, since ultimnately you want your funds to be transmitted there? I wouldn't recommend it as your sole processing method if you are wanting to grow substantially over time but as a way to accept payments initially while you test the waters, it sounds like it would meet all of your stated needs.

Any direct merchant account option will ACH funds directly to your bank account and any 3PP will either mail a check or wire transfer them to you.

You would more than likely have to use Paypal to have more deposited into your Paypal account. Otherwise, a merchant account or other provider could put the money into your bank account and then you would have to get the money from the bank account & move it to your Paypal account.

Starting off with Paypal would probably be your best option and if money is a factor, Paypal is probably the one for you
