From: searchmerchants.com

Accepting credit cards is the most well known way to accept payment on the Internet. Almost everyone has a credit card and by accepting his or hers, it makes customers' ordering process much more convenient and time saving. Accepting credit cards has become a necessity to the survival of e-businesses.
Merchant services contract with several merchant credit card processing banks that will actually accept and process your business transactions. For each transaction the bank processes, you will be charged a discount rate, or percentage, of the face value of the amount charged, along with a per transaction fee. When you perform your transaction, and receive an authorization number, the charged amount is immediately wire-transferred out of your customers' credit card account into your merchant account. The merchant service bank will then discount, or deduct, the percentage rate and per transaction fee, and wire-transfer the balance of the charge into the business checking account of your choice.
There are three ways to perform transactions:

1. Terminals/Hardware

2. Point of Sale Software

3. Real-Time

As the Internet continues to grow, more businesses come online and more people decide to make purchases on the Web, it will become essential that your business accept payment online in order to survive in today's business world.
