Payment Gateways

paul.mcguinness · 2010-07-20 09:16:51

Has anyone any good experiences with these? I am starting a small online business where a small amount of online transactions will(hopefully) take place. I will be allowing paypal of course but for people without paypal accounts are there any easier approaches than the usual merchant accounts attached to a payment gateway?…

A all in one package that is not completely crap or misleading.

Thanks,

Paul.

You do know that PayPal can accept a straight credit card payment from those who don't have PayPal accounts ?

True but i was hoping to keep the user on the main website without shipping off to the paypal gateway and redirecting backward. I have implemented complex gateways before for clients but the task of getting a merchant account approved and connected to a online payment gate was a very awkward process even for a government agency.

Hi Paul,

webpayments.ie (my website) has a complete list of payment providers (payment service providers, payment bureaus and 3rd party providers) that service the irish market and a comparison table that allows you to compare the payment service providers.

If you have any questions just ask.

thanks,
Dave

also check out the Entrepreneurial & Business Management forum here on boards, there have been a number of similar questions answered there over the past few months.
