Who's Best for Website Payment Processing . . . ?

Currently, I am a little out of the loop when it comes to payment processing solutions for small business websites.

I know the Authorize.Net solutions pretty well and am quite familiar with their integration, but I'm looking for something cheaper and yet just as seamless as Authorize.Net — something geared towards start-up small businesses.

What's the best solution for a small business that needs online payment processing (mostly credit cards)?

Is there a good all-in-one solution with a shopping cart, merchant account and payment gateway?

Any and all suggestions welcome!

 

Yes, you can use www.paypal.com ..just open an account there and enjoy the services it is safe , fast and even I feel compulsory for online trading and shopping..

You can try the following:
www.paypal.com
www.2checkout.com
www.Authorize.net
www.worldpay.com
www.ipaymentinc.com

 

I would say paypal is the best and most well known and they have the force of Ebay behind them. I have used them several years and have never had a problem.

 

Adding One more
https://www.e-gold.com/

 

I like 2checkout.com. They are cheap and reliable.

 

moneybookers.com

 

it depends what you need - we use authorize.net for some items because we offer "subscription" based products and authorize.net offers the recurring billing feature

 

Goody, goody . . . so much to choose from.

Thank you very much for your responses. You're awesome!

Basically, what I am after is a simple solution that can be integrated into a small business website (no off-site links). Authorize.Net is good for most of my clients, but this is a small company that wants something "less expensive" (and yet, they don't want to go with PayPal or Google Checkout).

This is all US-based, so I was hoping for something that is relatively inexpensive and not more complicated than Authorize.Net.

Hope that makes sense . . . ?

 

unfortunatley smaller or new businesses usually mean worse credit, which equals higher rates...

 

Moneybookers and e-gold are also good payment processor.

 

Paypal is not yet available in my country so remains moneybookers.I`ve
never had any problem.

I would recommend e-gold, PayPal, 2CO and MoneyBookers as priority..

 

If you have not decided on who to go with, I would recommend 2CO because they are accepted in most countries that PayPal is not.

 

I'm using 2CO too.But we have to earn $600 to collect money form them
thanks

 

Your client is being cheap. Paypal is the online standard, the one customers are most familiar with, and therefore the one that will inspire most confidence. Going for other options just increases the risks involved.

 

$600 is a defalt. You can go in and lower your release level using the banking wizard. Depending on how you are paid, you can lower it to $10 USD .

 

compared to Paypal they are REALLY expensive

PLUS they called some of my clients all the time,
hassling them and making them nervous about my services...

not a good business partner IMHO

 

www.paypal.com is the best

 

Why not go with 2co.com they have been used by thousend of small and medium merchants for years, they are not expansive and they have a good reputation.
