Socket Store Now Accepting Amex

April 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Socket Store has recently added American Express as a paymenr method to its onlie retailer store. It already accepts all other major credit cards including Visa and Mastercard in addition to Google Checkout and PayPal. Socket Store chose to add Amex, often not offered by online resellers, after listening to comments from its customers.

Phil Stephens, Managing Director says ‘We are always keen to hear from our customers and one piece of feedback we picked up on was customers wanting the biggest selection of payment processing possible. As a result we made the decision to go against the grain and start accepting Amex.’

They not only asked their customers for feedback but also did some straw polls on Twitter and Facebook to hear feedback from more of the online community.

While American Express is widely accepted in the United States it is not as popular in the UK, generally considered to be less beneficial to the retailer due to the higher rate of commission charged by American Express than other leading credit card companies. Mr Stephens gives his feedback; ‘There is an additional overhead to us the retailer, but we believe this is a price worth paying to give the flexibility to the consumer. We look forward to hearing feedback from our customers over the coming weeks and months on this addition.

Socket Store is an online retailer selling sockets, switches and dimmers in a variety of finishes including chrome, brass, black and nickel sockets and switches.
