Shopping season or not, all of us are aware of the importance of online purchases. Nowadays, as a result of the advancement of technology, more shopping is happening virtually than physically. Your business would slide down to the bottom of the rung if you are unable to receive payments electronically. We have to move on with the world or the world will move on without us. There are various online payment processing services available for you to choose from, but then which ones can you trust for all your important credit card, bank transfer or real-time orders? Here is a glimpse at the best online payment services that are available in the market today:

  The list would be incomplete without the name PayPal in it as it is one of the most widely used payment processors in the world with around 8 million payments happening every day. PayPal also accepts checks sent through a phone camera and a card swiper.
• Skrill
  Formerly known as Moneybookers, Skrill has some unique features like free set-up, low fees and also the ability to send a text message from your account. This is a great service for international merchants as they have the option of transferring their account balance on to a debit card almost instantly.
