My wife and I have finally decided to market our line of chain mail jewelry online.  We thought that this would be a logical step for us since we have had very good response here in our hometown.

But our problem was going to be to find a payment processor.  The big problem for us is that our credit history isn’t perfect, and places like our bank wouldn’t want us as a customer.  I find that this type of discrimination really sucks as it limits our options to do anything besides work.

I knew there had to be an option for people like us, so I looked online to see what I could find.  It turns out that there are many high risk offshore merchant accounts available for business owners like myself, so that we could accept credit card payments.

The one that we signed up with even offered free shopping cart software – so we are getting that setup right now.
