a friend of mine is operating a couple of holiday rentals. he recently joined BOOKING.com and his apartments are now available there. We would like to join an online payment gateway so we will be able to accept CC from everybody. the system should also have an admin panel where we can insert the CC details ourselves and debit it. in my country, in order to be able to do so, you have to open an account with every single CC company (visa, mastercard...), is this also the case with online solutions? how does the withdrawal work? thank you very much for your help
In my opinion, PaPal the best one. Their customer service is very good. You can transfer the money to your bank account with the help f 2 or 3 clicks.
AlertPay may be a good option as well, however they don't offer an admin panel where you can enter a client's Credit Card information. This is a much harder feature to find.
Plimus is the best option here. Because you can you can use to accept CC and its best it's FREE to register. You can accept more than 20 currencies worldwide.
Paypal isn't a good option, because not everybody has it and i can't process CC directly. thx for the Plimus tip. looks fine, but the problem is they charge high fees per transaction... 8% for transactions up to 79.99$. it says that for larger transactions they can negotiate the fees, but still... we intend on processing sums much higher then 100$ every time. Does anybody know some other service, doesn't have to be a free one?
