Mals-e calculates tax, shipping and handling and works as a secure gateway between your website shopping cart and your payment processor.

When one of your customers places an order, they are shown their shopping cart which is hosted on the secure Mals-e server and integrated into your store. Here they can choose to edit their order, delete items or move on to the payments section. Credit card and e-check details are collected using an SSL secured server. You can also offer the ability to pay by paper check or money order. The standard free account saves credit card data (encrypted) for you to pick up from Admin and process how you like, it also supports card payments by PayPal.

If you want to have credit cards processed in real time using your own merchant account then you need to use a third-party Payment Gateway. Mals-e supports all the major gateways but you will need a Premium account which costs $8.00 per month. The choice is yours.

Once a customer completes an order you will be notified immediately by e-mail. It is your responsbility to ensure payment has processed/cleared before completing/shipping the order.
