comment Accepting money on a website as payment: when do I move past PayPal?
I hear what you're saying, but PayPal is no longer draconian about requiring a PayPal account, one can invoice a person and they can simply pay with debit or credit, "taking real credit cards" is not a problem. My question is more figuring out how to decide that the paypal cut is too much, and another option might be better.

comment Accepting money on a website as payment: when do I move past PayPal?
The intent was not to go directly to doing all the processing in-house, more to evaluate the spectrum of options available. There's a ton of gotchas, seems like, regulatory, accounting, security, customer experience, transnational -- it's a maze of factors.

comment Accepting money on a website as payment: when do I move past PayPal?
Yeah, I was wondering if there was a tool to help me estimate the different services out there and determine which one works best. And it's not so much fees, but I know I can use different payment gateways to take payments, but those come with other costs. It's not easy to make those comparisons because they have more overhead -- hidden costs and such.
