    G'day mates!

    I'm doing online games business and am now thinking about what is the most use-friendly payment method to my customers?

    Well, pay pal sucks and most of my customers dropped me a line and said that credit card or some other payment methods are just too time consuming, not handy at all by and large.

    Couple of days before, a mobile payment service providers contacted me and showed me a demo, and i reckon this is the thing my customers looking for.

    Well, anybody here wanna shall a comment or experience?

    Cheers

    Hi,

    I think mobile payment service is a very good option for your business.
    I can recommend you this mobile payments service provider with highest global coverage (81 countries) and a good revenue share percentage - http://smscoin.net/

    I know.... Paypal sucks, but even then... one just cannot shy away from its excellent global reach. It is by far the best... for small businesses! :)

    Try Mobile First (mobilefirst.com), for people without credit card, it is a mobile payment solution if you don't want to use Paypal

    it is working for me and user pays within seconds. And it is really easy, user only need a mobile phone to complete transaction.

    I was checking SMS coin, many countries, it is true, but low pay-out and no many price points like US or UK, for example. In US unique price 4.99 USD, merchant only get 25%, so 1.25USD. In mobile first I get more than double.

    Hope it helps

    Sounds promising eh?

    As am now planning to expand my business, so i really need a secure, fast and user friendly payment method.

    Try to sit next to those gamers playing game together and you will understand how desperate it can be when you really need to buy some credits/coins for the game, but you still have to do a lot of sign up and stuff....

    Paypal is good but for online gaming purpose you will need to use credit card and debit cards also, for that you will need SSL or need to get some service from other banks for secure transactions

    There are many comments in the forum about different payment methods, this will definitely help everyone to know about the method of payments.

    Try salesvu.com, as an owner of a small plumbing services business i can tell you is the best solution. Download the app for free from its website or from the itunes store and they'll send u an small device to plug to ur iphone/ipad, u can accept cards, checks and cash. It's safe for ur customers and efficient for u as it stores all ur business info in ur device.
