Online sales and no website commission charges

You will have multiple direct payment options so your customers can use credit and debit cards and theimagefile will charge no commission on your sales through direct payment. This makes it a very attractive option for the sale of prints, products and downloads through your web site. If you wish to take secure card payments online, you have two basic options. A Social payment service like PayPal lets you take payments into a PayPal account, which you can then transfer to your own bank. Or you can have an internet payment gateway provider like SagePay, Worldpay, Global Payments, or Authorize which works alongside a merchant account, normally provided by your bank.

The account is easy and free to set up
The seller pays a small fee to securely process payment for goods
You receive the money instantly into your account
Buyers may directly enter credit/debit card details or use their own PayPal account
