How a typical third-party processor works

This is a typical example of how a third-party processor works. Please note that the exact setup will vary between services.

1. Set up your account with the third-party processor by filling in a form on their website. You'll be given a digital ID that is used by the third-party processor to identify you and your products.

2. Set up the information about your products (name, price, etc.) via the third-party processor's website. You'll be given instructions on how to set up the sales link on your website.

3. Place the sales link on your web page. You can place the sales link as many times as you like on any or all of the pages of your website. You can also place the link in e-mail messages, e-books, and so on.

4. Your visitor clicks the sales link to order the product and is taken to a secure server operated by the third-party processor.

5. In the secure payment area, your visitors enter their personal and credit-card details in the usual manner.

6. Once the visitor's credit-card has been approved, the third-party processor transfers the sales value of your product from the visitor's credit-card account to their own bank account.

7. Your visitor is then directed to your 'Thank You' page where your e-book is available for download. In the visitor's next credit-card statement the transaction will be listed using the name of the third-party processor (because it's they who have sold the product).

8. Both you and your customer will receive an e-mail detailing the sale. The details of the sale will also be added to your online sales reports available on the third-party processor's website.

9. Within a certain time (it varies) the funds from the sale (and any others within that time-frame), minus the third-party processor's transaction fees, will be transferred to your bank account or sent to you by check.
