Consumer-oriented businesses
You will be familar with B2C web sites that enable you to pay by credit card.  If you are planning a web “shop”, it is necessary for you to have access to a merchant account to clear credit card transactions.  If you already have this, addition of the necessary software to your web site will enable you to collect customers' payments.  Otherwise you may prefer to use a third-party Payment Processor to do this.

Entrelevel Limited can help you make the right choice and if required to find a suitable payment processing partner.

Business-to-Business operations
Business payments are usually for sums greater than can be passed via a credit card, so are generally made via BACS transfers, at a time that suits cash flow.  Your current accounting package may already have a capability for initiating BACS payments and will certainly record BACS transfers to you.  It may also be capable of handling electronic invoices and remittance advices.

When designing an electronic trading process, you need to integrate inbound electronic invoices with your payments system and to link outbound electronic invoices to the matching of bank payments and any remittance advice sent by your customers.

Entrelevel Limited can help you to design the "e-Business" process and to build the overall system.
