  • The Easy Alternative
    As a standard for inexpensive transactions we recommend paypal. The benefits of PayPal are that you do not need an Online Merchant Agreement, transactions are relatively cheap and you can deal in all major western currencies. Also your customers don't need a credit card to purchase from you We use payPal on our main activeSystems website in Australia and a number of other sites worldwide.

    Transaction/Payment Gateways
    Our ecommerce solutions can be taylored to any payment gateway that you require.

    Payment gateways are third party credit card processing systems that authorise credit card transactions in real time via the Australian banking network. They are provided by companies such as Worldpay.

    You will need an Online Merchant Agreement with your bank or financial institution. Having this Merchant facility will allow your website to interface with a payment gateway. For more information on Payment gateways we suggest that you ask your bank for a list of recomended gateway vendors.

    The main advantage of payment gateways over PayPal is that they directly interface your website to you bank account when recieving online payments. They provide faster remuneration of funds, generally 1-3 Business days. The down side is that they can be more expensive depending on your
    volume of transactions.
