I have a potential client who can only pay me via bank transfer or credit card.

I offered to receive via check or paypal, but they can't do that for some reason.

What do you recommend my course of action to accept payment?

use some billing software to accept the credit card maybe. There is some free billing software out there (I think phpcoin can do it).

Don't you need to have a merchant?

Yup, you need to have a merchant account, and only that. You don' need phpcoin or any other billing software for just one person. 2checkout.com is the most popular and to my knowledge the cheapest, but there is also Worldpay.com!

In all honesty.. if he has never used PayPal or visited that site.. he can pay via Credit Card

**SteveAR** · 08-22-2006, 05:11 PM

to myknowledge you dont have to have a paypal account to pay some one with a credit card.

**chovy** · 08-22-2006, 05:17 PM

I think with web-express you can do it w/o paypal account, I don't think so with subscription payments though.

Unfortunately Steve, you are partialy wrong. Paypal supports only a fraction of countries, and ignores the rest. For example, I'm from Croatia and can't pay via CC to Paypal...
