Are you attracting a ton of traffic to your image store only to find out that it makes next to no difference to your bottom-line? Scratching your head, you think about what you are doing wrong.

Perhaps, your buyers don’t identify with the payment system that you have in place. And if your site accepted payments via credit cards, your profit margins might sky-rocket. 

And if you are one of those people who believe in preparing their business for any opportunity that might come by,  and you would love to earn some top dollar, you are going to love the Stripe payment gateway extension for Sell Media.

The Stripe extension to the Sell-Media plugin lets you accept credit card payments from buyers all over the world. Having a credit card payment system in place is also of tremendous value to business for psychological reasons.

Your buyers will not leave your site immediately after purchasing. Most continue to stay on the site to process their credit card purchase. and during this time, they might go through some of the other photos in your collection. This might in turn help you improve your conversion rates and improve your profit margin.
