Hello, I'm starting an Australian company. I would like to know what Payment Processors I should use. I expect 95% of all payments will be sent from within Australia. So I want to know what Payment Processors should I use besides PayPal. Thanks, Chris
Hello, Just some advice on finding a reputable gateway merchant company. I am based in New york City, USA. Be careful, there are a lot of third party middle man gateway companies that mark up their prices 3 times over because they are not the direct provider. They charge unnecessary fees just to cover their costs. I use Authorized.net. My monthly fees are about $10 because I didn't use a third party company. Most major online retailers user Authorized.net because they are reliable and straight forward with their fees. Hope this helps as a starting point. They work with international companies also so check them out.
There should be a bunch of banks in your area that offer services. Australia is very regulated, so it's probably going to be most cost effective to stick with a bank or processor in your country.
Mijireh has a great service. They use Stripe as their gateway. They are working for me right now since I am shying away from PayPal.
I will suggest you look for local payment provider in Australia. PayPal isn't too good at customer service and you're account can get limited for weeks or months for no good reason and you won't get reply to support tickets on time.
