Payment Gateways

[Raf]

What other payment methods other than PayPal, or 2Checkout would you say would be the best to use for any kind of ecommerce site. I am looking for services that offer bank withdrawals/deposits.

If you have had an experience with any other please post here, I am currently looking into other payment gateways so that customers from countries that have certain methods blocked are still able to purchase from the site.

Thanks, I greatly appreciate it.

Perhaps Propay.com? There is a monthly limit, however. But you can enter CC info yourself which you cannot do with paypal or 2checkout. There only available for the USA I think.

Next would be the authorized.net. Your looking at $25 monthly there. Next choice would probably Wells Fargo at $31 monthly with setup fee.

Thanks for recommending those sites, however I am looking for something a little more different. However, you can be outside of the USA and still be able to use a credit card or bank transactions no matter which country you are from.

 

[identity_00]

Some countries are blocked for a reason.

Yea Propay wont work for you they only accept USA merchants.

These are the best you can get. Verisign, authorize.net, or a traditional bank. Of course its going to cost you. You're also going to need a ssl certicate also with certain methods.

Have you looked at Ikobo.com? Might work for you.

Ikobo.com looks pretty cool and better than paypal... anyone been using it? I wonder if more merchants should support it?

 

[Raf]

iKobo would be more used by international users from what I have seen.

 

[PolurNET]

Hmm, yeah, but they don't say about wire transfers, like the way paypal does it... for example, does withdrawing/funding my account from my bank acct incur any fees or not? And they also talk about some kind of Visa Electron card monthly fee, which I'm not sure what's it all about

Sticking to paypal and element5/shareit for now i guess for my customers

 

[Raf]

Well there will always be fees from such service's, however they are very minimal. For example it only costs $0.50 USD to withdraw/deposit your money into your bank account per transaction so thats not to bad really. However I'm not sure about other services though.

 

[PolurNET]

oh, but then what are they asking abt that visa payment fee or something, it's unclear, eh?

 

[Raf]

Do you mean like when your using your credit card or what exactly, I'm pretty sure there are fees however if you do use a credit card but its most likely very minimal.

ikobo.com looks attractive to me.

I used to use PaySystems.com as my payment processor. Their ordering form/procedure might be a bit restrictive, other than that, it did not cause me any problems!

 

[Raf]

Oh okay, thanks for sharing that with us jj2ii3344.

Would StormPay.com work in this case? That might be an option as well.

 

[Raf]

Yep, StormPay looks pretty good. However it seems that people don't use this service as much as PayPal though. I was thinking about trying 'ChronoPay', has anyone dealt with this company before?

Me too Let's make an ikobo club :P

Getting to serious business now, my opinion is that ikobo has a very positive trend. Lately they improve their services very often and I have this feeling that I made the right choice when I chose them and not praypal or stormpay. BTW: Are you a merchant or you just use their p2p services?

I have only used them for purchases from international (non-US) sellers and have found their service to be solid. Fast email confirmations and efficient.

few people use stormpay still, and they have higher trans fees.
