What payment option do you recommend

I considering to add payment options to my web sites. What payment options do exist and how do they work? Bear in mind that I stay in South Africa and that this may have some relevance for terms and conditions that apply and of course whether any such service can be offered or not.

 

I always use Paypal... hope it works in your area... if not paypal then moneybookers..

 

moneybookers no doubt about it

 

If you want to accept direct credit card payments try a local merchant. If you want a widely accepted payment method try paypal or moneybookers.

 

Well paypal is a must since this is the prefered payment processor on the net. Moneybookers and egold make excellent additions for people who can't use paypal.

 

Any Idea whether/what options are available in South Africa?

 

Moneybookers.

 

if you can keep Western Union and Bank transfer....itll be very convinent for african countries

 

Thanks, Smak and Kagato.

I'm also investigating having a bank account elsewhere. I.e. in the European Union, United States etc. I remember that the banks here had a problem with Paypal and the like. The bank charges are very high in South Africa. And this may convince more people to shift their accounts to the internet.

Just seen what moneybookers is offering:

I should actually advertize this more, just to be spiteful against the banks here.

 

well i prefer paypal

 

I contacted them, but heard there is a problem for users in South Africa. We are for some reason not allowed to make use of their services.

 

I would suggest E-Gold or Liberty Reserve since many chargeback happening with Paypal

 

I would recommend Moneybookers. They are great.

 

go for paypal

paypal is widely used for transactions over the net.

 

Paypal is Best

 

I Think Many poeples using paypal. paypal is batter then others and if not paypal then Egold is right choice!

 

Paypal and Moneybookers all the way
