How it all started The online payments industry is complex to understand and trying to comprehend the cost structure is similar to reading mobile phone tariffs. For the average small business looking to sell some items through an online shop, what appears a fairly simple concept is awash with jargon, terminology, application processes, risk criteria and so on. About seven years ago the electronic-payments.co.uk website was set up as part of a wider DTi-backed initiative to help small businesses get online and into eCommerce. Times have changed and eCommerce is everywhere and growing fast, however among small businesses the take-up is much lower and getting the best deal is as confusing as ever.
