PayPal as only payment option, would it put you off making a purchase?

    I am building a store to sell digital downloads and want to use PayPal to process credit/debit cards or take payments from PayPal balances.


    My question is would PayPal put you off, even though you can pay via credit card without having a paypal account?

    Hey MobileInternet,

    I wouldn't be put off since I use Paypal a ton, but you might also consider adding Google Checkout too. I think they are a little cheaper ratewise as well.

    If you are creating website than you have to provide at least two payment methods that what I suggest, you can use paypal, credit card or google checkout there so many other methods are also available.

    Yes, i would consider not to use Paypal.
    Its not a friendly payment processor for Indians. We can't buy stuffs with it, unless we have a CC attached.
    You can try adding DC payments, Payza and also Skrill.
    Integrating 2CO or CCAvenue would also be great.

    I see the Paypal Merchant Service is easy to use, especial for "download" products
