Accepting a Credit Card payment question

[soggy]

This might be slightly off topic but I thought I would get the experts opinions.

I own a coffee company in addition to my adult business. I have been in business for 8 years and never had a customer ask to pay by credit card. I recently landed a goverment account that can only pay by credit card. A merchant account would not be an option for me for this one account. Is there any other service that this customer can pay me by credit card without them being a member of Paypal or the likes?

Thanks in advance,

Soggy

Check out Verisign's payflow link option at www.verisign.com worldpay.com provide a similar service I believe. Also - paypal now has a system like Verisign's payflow link option, your potential customers don't need to be a paypal member if they are paying with a credit card.

Cheers,

Paul.
