2Checkout Payment Gateway
Business on the Internet involves the taking of money. To do that you need some form of payment gateway. Paypal and 2checkout are two that you should have.

But PayPal is not available everywhere. And if you're going to use the PayPal service that allows the taking of credit cards you will find that it is very expensive.
Getting a merchant account is out of the question for most small businesses. The banks do not like giving merchant accounts to online companies and especially to a small online companies.
