Hi all,

 

I`ve got my site working great (I think!)...

CoderSystems

...

But was wondering what methods everyone uses for taking payments. I am only using PayPal, but don`t think offering just one payment method is a great idea!

 

What do you guys use?

 

and

 

What do you guys think is best?

 

 

Thanks

Agreed, offering only one payment method is not the best. We offer Paypal, credit card via gateway, Check/Money Order, and Bank Transfer. We find the vast majority of customers prefer to pay by credit card, but we limit this option to countries with relatively low fraud rates. We offer Paypal only to N. American customers. For countries with higher fraud rates, we offer only Bank Transfer and Check/Money Order.

Thanks, keep-em comming...

 

PayPal does now take Credit cards without the need for an account with them, which is good, but I am concerned that the normal person will not know what PayPal is and might cancel the check out when faced with this option for payment!

 

WorldPay offer a great card processing option - but are expensive to setup! That gateway do you use?

 

Thanks again
