Section Navigation

The main sections of the site have been desiged to follow a logical order to the subject of electronic payments. If you are new to the subject, we recommend that you read at least the first three sections (The Benefits, The Fundamentals & E-payment Methods
Each section covers a complete topic, but they are all straightforward and concise – eight or nine pages each at most – and you can navigate backwards and forwards through them using both the arrow keys at the top and bottom of each page and also the subheadings within the yellow boxes.

It’s best to read the sections in order, although you can revisit one at any point by clicking on to the relevant yellow button. You can also print out whatever information you need.

Use the Tool

This is the final section and takes you to the diagnostic resource. To use it, just type in some basic information about your company. The tool will then generate recommendations and cost information on the electronic payment solutions best suited to your business.

You only need to provide figures for the basic inputs page of the tool although there are more sophisticated options should you wish to change them with further usage.

Throughout the tool, context sensitive examples are used to indicate what inputs may be appropriate before you move to the next stage.

A very useful feature of the tool is the ability to Save and Reload previous inputs. If you are running a variety of scenarios for your business or a group of businesses, this is an essential piece of functionality.
Other Navigation options can be found along the top of the screen, the blue bar and the lower left hand-side of the screen.
