Comparing different payment systems
I’m going to write a report on different payment systems used. This will include the advantages, disadvantages, comparison and I will conclude which payment system I would recommend for cuckoo.
Payment systems are used by customers and businesses to transfers funds from one account to another account.

The advantage of cuckoo having a payment system would be that you easily send funds in a matter of seconds via an internet payment service. This means that cuckoo gets the money straight away to their bank account and then within that same day they can ship the item out.
Another advantage of having a payment would be convenience as online trading provides a 24/7 business .Having electronic payments means that cuckoo will be open 24/7 so they can receive payments at any time from customers

Hacking is also rare and likely wouldn’t happen to a clock selling company. I suggest implementing PayPal and credits card because these are both a convenient way of people to make online payments.
