If you are running a business, and the ability to charge credit cards manually is crucial. You might have researched around and found that you need something called a payment gateway. But that cost money! The costs varies based on your monthly anticipated sales and percentages of your profit.

However there’s a way to do it all completely for FREE, except for what Google charges. No monthly fees and no minimums!

Here’s how! You will need two accounts, one Google Checkout Account where you will register yourself as a merchant, you will need a legitimate business with a EIN number from the bank. Then you will need a second account to act like a purchase account. You will use the purchase account as the buyer, with each transaction, you will enter a new credit card number (obtained from your clients) and simply charge it as if a buyer was purchasing from your store.

You may use Google Checkout’s link maker to create Quick BUY NOW links with preset prices so you can easily charge your customers and put them up on a web page somewhere.

Now you will be able to process and charge your clients credit cards manually, for free, no strings attached!
