Payment options for customers

[inetweaver]

Hi,
There are different options for customers regarding payments. The best way of payment is plastic cards like credit cards, Gold cards.

Thanks

Not all true and the best way is the way a majority of people prefer.

yes the safest way for orders of £100 is to use a Credit Card as a consumer will be protected under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act

I accept bank transfer, Bitcoin, credit card, mail-in, and PayPal on-line. For local clients, I also accept cash in addition the aforementioned.

only drawback i find with 2CO is that their fees are nearly twice what Paypal charges

Yes I agree with easyhostmedia...
Paypal fee $0.30 + 2.9%
2CO fee $0.45 + 5.5%

even 2co use only in one domain....

Moneybookers is a good one to use it has many countries also low fraud. Enjoy

Didnt used moneybookers since they changed to Skrill. Did they changed policy or something?

For clients PayPal is a great choice, but for providers it's the worst payment method because client can cancel payment without any alerts.

they do this you will get a notice from paypal, so then we just suspend clients account (this gets their attention) if a PP sub fails we wait until the second sub attempt then suspend, but will inform client at first fail.

It is really of great advantage if you have more ways for payment, people may choose to buy from you since you are accepting more payment methods. We use Paypal, direct credit card secured payments . Most customers pay through paypal though.

Most customers pay through paypal though.

I think that depends largely upon your target audience. The majority of payments which I receive are direct credit card payments. In fact, I'm considering dropping PayPal altogether. I've only kept it thus far for the few who don't have credit cards.

I think that as long as you give PayPal, you are probably OK. You may also want to accept checks for those who aren't comfortable paying online, though this is increasingly more rare.

Once you become more popular and you know that it will last for the long-term, then look into merchant accounts and such, so you can accept credit cards.

Mainly paypal.

But alternatives, moneybookers, alertpay, 2cheqout, liberty reserve and payoffline for me.

 

[shanrocks666]

Paypal should be your primary and other option like netbanking ,moneybroker etc

 

[Eased]

PayPal is the best to use. I also have used 2CheckOut in the past but they have been having some problems. AlertPay/Payza is also up there.

 

[dedideals]

Paypal is the main one in the industry and taking card payments, as long as you can take card payments as well as paypal then you will be fine.

Not sure in which version but recently WHMCS added currency conversion on payment gateways .

So now UK based providers can offer Google Checkout on websites primarily charging in GBP!

If that fits you then I'd defiantly add Google Checkout, very reputable, fast and I think one of the best gateways.

dont forget with Google Checkout you will 100% need an SSL certificate on your site ( this is one of their requirements)

I believe Google added a feature allowing you to disable this requirement if you wish?

Albeit, not recommended .

You should have a SSL certificate on your website / client area regardless of google's requirements.

never say this the last time i looked, but i have Google checkout added for some time.

I think they have the correct procedure for a payment gateway in that they wont approve you to use them until they confirm your site has an SSL cert ( they also do regular checks making sure your site still has an SSL cert)

true, but not everyone will
