As the title says paypal is no doubt undisputed champion in payment methods but which payment method comes on second spot and third spot. I think I really need to add more payment methods on my site.

Thanks

I checked the link and this link is not specific to webhosting business. I am curious which other payment methods are mostly used by webhosting clients besides paypal. I see many webhosts are accepting crypto. Do a lot of people pay use crypto? Which crypto wallet is best?

Don't you think you are missing out on clients who want to pay with paypal/skrill/crypto and who don't have a credit/debit card or those who don't want to use card online.
Purpose of this thread is to know which payment method I should add to my billing system so that I can increase my sales.

You definitely need PayPal because some people are using PayPal only. As for credit card payments, I don't think any customer care if it's Stripe, Skrill, 2checkout, or any other payment gateway.
 
I used Stripe in the past and dropped it as it was a nightmare to manage. Apparently, it's still quite popular as an alternate to PayPal.
 
Hey there!
Here are some of the popular payment alternatives for PayPal;
  1. Skrill
  2. Payoneer
  3. Google Pay Send
  4. Stripe
It is important to keep multiple payment options available on your website as every person has their own preferences when it comes to payment options.

It's not something that we really worry about. Maybe there are people out there who don't have a credit/debit card but I don't think we are losing a huge amount of clients by not offering paypal.

We also offer the ability to pay by bank transfers in the EU/UK and we do have a few clients who have chosen to pay that way, but the vast majority just pay by card.

I like Stripe over many other payment processors because the checkout process is done on our site instead of offloading people somewhere else and then bringing them back, which always feels clunky to me.
 
It depends on the geo you work in. It's easy to do research on payment systems to make your own list.
 
I've had a few clients start asking about antom lately. It supports multiple payment types and works well across regions, which made onboarding smoother. The setup was pretty quick, and I liked that payouts were on time without extra steps. It also gave a cleaner experience for those who didn’t want to mess with banking details too much. So far, support’s been responsive when I needed help.
 
It’s smart to expand your payment options since not everyone prefers PayPal. Credit/debit cards are usually the second most popular choice because they’re widely trusted and convenient for most users. For the third spot, it depends on your audience — digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay are growing fast, especially among mobile users, while services like Stripe or even cryptocurrency might appeal to tech-savvy customers.

Think about where your visitors are located and what they’re likely to use. For example, in some regions, local payment methods like bank transfers or regional services (like iDEAL in Europe) can make a big difference. Adding one card processor and a digital wallet option alongside PayPal should cover most bases and improve your site’s usability.
