Chapter 1: Obtaining the Money

Let's not beat about the bush.  Without payment for goods we aren't going to stay in business very long.  This section deals with

• Credit Card processing,  and
• Card fraud both from your customer's side and protecting yourself. 

There are severe penalties for your business (not necessarily civil or criminal)  as the credit card companies have brought in some fairly stringent conditions for handling card details, and you could find yourself without the ability to process payments if you get this wrong.

Hopefully this section will guide you through some of the pitfalls.
