Once
you've decided on your e-commerce hosting plan, you'll then need to decide
if you will process your customer's credit card payments offline or
online.
Offline
processing means that you will collect your customer’s payment by mail,
e-mail, or telephone. The customer will not know if his or her payment is
received and/or approved until notified by you. This payment processing
method does not require a payment processor.
Online
processing means that your client will enter his or her credit card
information on your secure e-commerce site. The credit card information
will be approved, or disapproved, by a third party payment processor
within seconds. This method is faster more efficient than offline
transactions.
