The COMPASS credit card purchase program works through PayPal. PayPal is a system for tranfering money over the internet through credit cards, bank accounts and other methods. It is more secure than other methods because no third party ever sees your credit card numbers or banking information. Currently, they will accept Visa or Master Card and transfers from PayPal accounts.
Using PayPal. When you select a product to purchase, you simply click on the "Pay Now" icon to the right of the product. If you are not already a member of PayPal, they will ask you to register with them. The process is simple. In fact, it is no different from a normal credit card purchase, you just register your credit card and choose a password. After you have registered, you can buy from other PayPal sites by just entering your password. There are also lots of other useful PayPal features that could be particularly useful for people living overseas. For example, individuals can personally send or receive money through PayPal.
