Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Try this:

I suppose you mean accepting instead excepting.....

LaoPo

I can recommend www.thaiepay.com/

They work like PayPal and your customers can pay by credit card or Thailand issued ATM cards....

Good luck

Bangkok Bank will set you up with machine and tie it to your bank account so any amounts charged will be deposited directly into it (almost immediately)

TH

BB also has credit card gateway for online payments from your website.

Would you happen to know what the requirements are in order to set up the payment gateway?

Biggest initial problem is that you have to be operating for at least 12 months (or at least the registered company has to 12 months old).

Along with the company bank account being at least 12 months old.

Minimum 1 million registered capital.

Most people stick with either thaiepay or paysbuy until they have been operating long enough to qualify for a merchant account with one of the commercial banks...

Use Thaiepay! I ran a hotel in Phuket for 3 years and used Thaiepay for my credit-card bookings/payments. Never had a single problem with them
