Credit Card Logos on Your Homepage Will Increase Sales

Showcase Credit Card Logos and Boost Your Sales Online

When you go shopping at a service business or retail store the first thing you usually see while heading to the door is the merchant's hours, and a credit card logo, displaying what types of credit cards the merchant can take. Consumers take for granted that they will see this. Many times consumers will walk away, and the merchant misses out on the business if they can't see the logos.

The world of e-commerce is not different! Studies have indicated that one of the very first things an online customer searches for on your web page is a credit card logo image. A credit card logo is really important, in that it tells the buyer some things. First it informs the buyer that you have an internet merchant account, such as Authorize.net gateway, and that you do welcome credit and bank cards. Second, this credit card logo relays to the potential buyer explicitly what cards are welcomed. Finally, seeing the credit card logo provides the customer confidence. They'll know you are "a real business" because the credit card logo image tells them you've got a merchant account and you take certain types of credit cards.

In order to have online success, you must provide your customers with various payment options. At a bare minimum, your retail merchant account need to allow you to welcome the following card types: Visa, American Express, Discover, and Mastercard. By welcoming the previously named credit cards, you will be able to compete with other merchants. In the event you don't prominently showcase the credit card logos on your web page, you can be certain, your potential buyers will continue to surf until they arrive at the home page of your competitor. If perchance there is existing internet traffic, adding a credit card image is sure to increase your online sales.

You'll find several different ways to display the credit card logo on your site. When you setup your retail merchant account, you probably got a welcome kit by mail from the processor of your account. This kit will most likely contain copies of the credit card logos. If you are decent with a scanner, then you can scan the logos, convert them to a gif or ipg format, and add them on your website. This process is fairly simple, however it is certainly not the easiest method to add the credit card logo to your web site.
