2checkout's alternative moneybookers?

Discussion in 'Payment Processing' started by Talker, Dec 29, 2006.

  1. #1
    Hi,

    I have been using 2Checkout for quite some time now. Recently i have lost a few clients becuase 2checkout does not accept their credit card payments well. Clients complain that they cannot pay.

    I am looking for another alternative to 2Checkout. I cannot buy a real merchant gateway account because i am not in the US or Canada. I am looking for a third party payment processor.

    Is moneybookers a good alternative? how?
    Can moneybookers be integrated to the site?
    Does it passback parameters on a successfull payment?

    you seriously checked the countries . Almost every country is listed there . But still if its not there then maybe you should go with moneybookers < i dont use it > .. but theres no probs in having multiple options to acceot payments . You can have moneybookers alongwith 2checkout .

    2co has a rebust anti scammer system... the fact that they cannot accept their cc's mean they are scammers, don't fall into that trap and don't go after risky customers! 2co works great!

    As said earlier, i already have 2checkout running, i just need an additional processor that would do the transaction 2CO doesnt.

    If a client cant pay via 2CO, i need another gateway to catchup with the sale.

    Then moneybooker is a good altranative but your customers will have to make a account there and deposite funds in it through credit card then send you $$$

    well paypal / google checkout are not supported . 2checkout you are already using so the one which remains is Moneybookers < I dont use it > . I guess there are some other things aswell like echecks < not very sure >

    Thats not a good idea.

    Is there any other service that provides services like 2CO.. i just need to give my clients another option, because sometimes customers that have been paying for months say "2CO declined my card, how do i pay you now?"

    Something is better than nothing , 8% does not matter if you have only this option :)
