  • If you have a retail store with EFTPOS facilities use manual credit card processing.

  • If you do not have EFTPOS facilities use Paystation.
    Main advantage: payment is in the bank before you receive the order, with no involvement from you.
    Main disadvantage: monthly fees are relatively high until sales reach a few thousand per month.

3. Large Online Business, $20,000 per month - use Paystation
Main advantage: payment is in the bank before you receive the order, with no involvement from you.
Main disadvantage: if you have a retail store you may need to import a daily list of orders into your till software.
