Mobile Credit Card Reader coming soon!
The most popular online credit card payment system is E-Bay's PayPal.  Recently, they introduced Mobile Credit Card readers also (you sign up and they send it to you... but I have not received mine).
Online
Easy to create buttons to embed on websites for basic "e-commerce".
Funds are deposited into your PayPal account and you withdraw the funds less the fees (starting at 2.75%)




Other Non-Mobile Payment Options: Taking Website Payments

Google Checkout
  • Similar to Paypal
  • Also, not very user friendly
