Asides e-gold, e-bullion and most other forms of e-currency, I would please like to know what other forms of payment which a site offering services to the international community can offer.

Things like paypal, credit card and international money transfer are what's being used by most of the websites similar to mine. I would please like to know if it's possible for me to accept payment with any of these options(paypal, credit card, international money transfer).

I know I can accept money transfer from foreign clients but when I consider the cost of bank charges in ratio to the average amount that would be transfered at any given time, it doesn't look so cost effective to me.

In summary, what I need to know from you guys is if I can accept credit card payments or  paypal payment as a nigerian website. Interswitch is out of it!!


Thanks for your replies.

Provided you own a credit card, U can accept payments, But to be on a safer side why dont you log on to paypal.com for paypal info and visit your banker to get more fact on Credit card payments. Good luck!!!
