The importance of payment gateways has now increased a lot, as more and more businesses are going online day by day. Potential customers usually get away if a site doesn’t offer online payment options.
1. Authorize.Net
Authorize.Net is the most commonly used payment gateways. Compared to the other available options, Authorize.Net charges a fee of up to $0.1 for credit card transactions. Smaller businesses mainly opt for this payment method. For technical support, you can contact them by live chat, phone, or email. The only limitation is that it cannot be used during the weekends.
2. PayPal
Being the most versatile among other similar options, it suits both large and small businesses. It does not have any service charges. This makes PayPal ideal for small businesses that yet have no idea of transaction volumes to be expected.
3. Skrill
This payment mode is given by Skrill, so you do not have to worry about its reliability when you use it. It is quite similar to PayPal but needs to work on customer support.
4. CyberSource
It is also ideal for all types and sizes of business. It is available in 190 countries from all over the world. Hence payments for overseas businesses can be easily carried out by this payment mode. Fast and accurate detection of fraud transactions is offered by CyberSource.
5. Amazon Payments
Amazon Flexible Payments and Amazon Simple Pay Service are two variants provided by Amazon Payments. Flexible Payment allows the set up of merchant accounts in multiple numbers while Simple Pay enables easy to pay.
6. SecurePay
Proprietary software-based SecurePay is now Australia’s largest payment gateway. It is a very secure gateway, as it provides PCI-DSS compliance.
7. Stripe
It is quite new in the market but already competing with Skrill and PayPal. It does not have any set-up fee but has a fixed fee of $0.3 and a transactions fee of 2.9% which is quite high. It does not provide the merchant server and the details of your credit card.
8. Braintree
Acquired by PayPal, Braintree concentrates mostly on medium-sized businesses. It has successfully taken up all the voids that are present in PayPal.
9. WorldPay
The set-up fee of WorldPay is very high and thus is difficult to be used by both medium and small businesses. It is supported by the Royal Bank of Scotland and thus has extremely high security and reliability in all its transaction. Its only drawback is that it cannot be used worldwide.
10. Dwolla
Similar to PayPal, Dwolla charges very low; in fact, even lesser than PayPal. For any transaction that is less than $10, it is free and 2.5% charges are implemented on other transactions. It is also faster than PayPal.
