Would you like to accept online payments, even if you don't have a web site? You can now, with the help of a service called Email Billing.

You can Accept credit cards in the Philippines with Email Billing today. Here's how it works:

Since you don't have a web site that accepts credit card payments, you will make use of the YESPayments site. As a merchant, you'll log in and type in the details of a transaction (which you probably completed offline). YESPayments then sends you a bill via email.

This gives you the chance to check the bill and make adjustments, before you forward it to your customer.

Inside the email is a special link which will lead your customer to the payment page at YESPayments. And that's how you can process credit card payments online even if you don't use a web page for orders.

What's the difference between this and other online payment systems? In this case, since email is used, we can assume that you and your customer have some kind of prior meeting. Afterall, the transaction may have been completed over the phone or even in person.

Given the lag between the physical meeting, the emailing, and the actual clickthrough to the payment page, this system will work better with physical goods and services rather than electronic infoproducts because of the "instant gratification" factor.

If your target market feels more comfortable with email, then this alternative online payment system may work for you. You'll need to make your customers aware of YESPayments from the onset, or you'll risk confusing them when they visit the payment page for the first time.

In addition, the payment page can display your company's logo to help reassure your customers that they are in the right place. Perhaps you can post videos of the payment system on your site.

Or better yet, send your customers an email with a link to your video on YouTube.

How's that for making money on the internet even if you don't have a web site!
