We are living in a world of different races having different interests and ways of life. In electronic commerce, where businesses are operated via the worldwide Internet, there are a lot of varieties a merchant services partnership may bump into.

A relevant one is that nations vary in terms of their currency - U.S. dollars, Euros, pounds, Swiss francs - and also their mode of payment - checks, postal orders, credit cards, direct debit and bank transfers.

You can select from any of these payment methods depending on what you sell, your medium of selling and your target countries. Sometimes in order to broaden your audience range, you need to offer your customers several, if not all, of these modes, weighing up the choices that best fit their preferences. However, you also need to ensure that your customer won't find converting their method of payment to cash is too difficult.
