How to Accept Credit Card Payment Online and Sell Digital Products and Services

1. Signup with ClickBank and fill the simple form with your personal datas (2 minutes).

2. Make a sales page to accept credit card payment online: here is where you convince the customer to make the purchase. On this page (at your web site) you need to explain what you are selling, how the service will be delivered (web page, email, etc), and how long it will take for delivery (5 seconds, 5 minutes, etc). Here you will include your sales link.

3. Make a thank-you page: this page (at your own web site) will be seen by your customers only if their credit card is valid. Here you must thank the customer for making a purchase, display your email address and remind him that their credit card bill will show a charge by "CLICKBANK / KEYNETICS". Moreover you have to collect additional information from the customer, if you need it to complete the sale, and make an "exit link"

4. Test your links: before you accept credit card payment online, you must test your links to make sure they are set up properly. You don't want customers to end up at the wrong page after they pay. (Imagine paying good money only to see a "FILE NOT FOUND" message.)

5. Request your price limit: the price limit is the maximum price you can charge customers for a single purchase. The standard price limit is $50. In rare circumstances ClickBank can allow a merchant to accept credit card payment online up to $250 or more.

6. Activate your account: once your account is approved, the next time your access your account you will see instructions on how to pay your one-time $49.95 activation fee by credit card or money order.

7. Set your prices: after you have paid the activation fee, you will need to set the prices of your links. To do so, login to your account, click the link to "access your account", then click the link to "modify you account" link. Go to the section titled "thank-you pages" and enter the price for each link in the small box next to the thank-you page URLs.

It's done! Now you can accept credit card payment online!
