How To Accept Payment on A Store?

A friend of mine wanted to start a store front so that she can continue working from home now that blogging for pay is half dead. I encouraged her to start a store and am prepared to help her with the technicalities of setting it up since I have experience in that. The only think is that she would have to decide on her store name, store host, shopping cart and payment processor. I can't make these decisions for her because these are her investments to run her store. While I can help her to implement them, I don't want to be blamed if she is dissatisfied with the performance of these service providers.

She did ask me about accepting credit cards on website and as a Seller, we should always provide maximum avenues for our Buyers to make payment. One company that I came to know of this afternoon that helps setup credit card processing is Aplus Merchant Services. Although I have not used the services of this company before, I told my friend about it so that she will have more options. She is currently compiling a list of companies that offer Visa & Mastercard payment solutions.

Well, I hope that it will work out for my friend. As you know, there's plenty of ways to make money on the internet but sometimes, we need a "push" or we would never get started!
