payment method

Majority of my customers use Paypal. There's maybe 20% that use Credit/Debit cards.

I've looked at adding Bitcoin as a method, but being an Australian based business - options are a bit limited.

In terms of fraudulent orders - majority are card-based. Very easy to pick up as they usually use a card issued in a different country than their billing address.

They rarely get through Maxmind though.
There will always be a couple that slip through the cracks, however.

I did have a order get though maxmind. I let it go though it said the place he ordered from was not the same as his address, 3 weeks later he running malware script to spam people mail looks like porn, I think it was a wordpress hack. But he denies it was him. I ban him from my clients area and remove his account. He did not have a English name all seems a bit fishy to me. :rolleyes2

that's why we always check with fraudrecord, even if they get through maxmind.

more will get through maxmind now as they have discontinued their telephone verification service
 
Major credit cards and Paypal.

If you don't have a full merchant account - check out Stripe.com or 2Checkout.com - a great way to get started.

Stripe is way better than 2Checkout. but yes a lot cheaper than going with a bank and getting a merchant account which in the UK can be £200
 
I agree, it seems if you can have in addtion of Paypal+a credit card "only" proccessor like Strip, and maybe Bitcoin.

Stripe is pretty much paypal in almost everything including their charges. They may not offer anything more than PayPal does but that is my opinion.

Secondly When you have Stripe do you need bitcoin as stripe integrates bitcoin with their API if am not mistaken.
