    Hi all,

    I just started an online store and I'm wondering which payment processor you personally would recommend from the following:

    Alertpay
    Authorize.Net (AIM)
    LIQPAY
    Moneybookers
    Paymate
    PayPoint
    Perpetual Payments
    PayPal
    SagePay
    2Checkout
    WorldPay

    I have set up Alertpay, but processing payments with them seems unprofessional to me and their system is not very user friendly.

    I want to avoid PayPal if at all possible. I really don't like them and I have family who use them for payment processing on their site, and they're about to pay a bit to start using a more professional method. All I've heard is bad things about PayPal. :confused:

    I guess I'm looking for the perfect solution; low cost, easy, quick and professional looking.
    Oh, and I've listed the ones I have because I'm using OpenCart. :)

    Thanks for any advice guys. Your opinions are appreciated.

    I would also say PayPal, but as you want to avoid them I can recomend MoneyBookers.

    Well, having seen my family deal with PayPal recently and after trying to find out info myself from PP, I am extremely reluctant about even considering using them.

    I want to expand my business in the future if I have the opportunity to do so, and I've tried to ask PP about using them with more than one site. Other people have told me I can, but PP themselves tell me I can't. It's one site per PP account. And as you can only have one PP account that's no good for future expansion.

    Either they don't know their own business, or everyone who's told me I can use PP with more than one site is lying.
    I've also been told that they restrict withdrawing funds without warning or explanation as and when they like.

    Of course, I can't find any information about any of this on the PP site either. It's just a mess. :confused:
    Doesn't look good to me considering they're such a big and professional global business.

    I'll certainly look at the other options and see what's best. I've set up AP at the moment and need to run a test purchase. But looking at their interface, I'm not sure I'll want to stick with them either :(
