starring Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I currently use Paypal Payments Pro, but I get charged $30 a month and 2.2+ interest. Are there any better options out there that also let you take credit cards directly? I was thinking of switching to paypal standard, but then they need to go through paypal to use credit cards, which I'm worried will turn some people off.

Circle Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 People know of paypal all over the world so I don't see why it would put them off. Do the free option, although you still have to pay interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Try Google checkout, it is free. You can add as an option to use with a personal Paypal account and pay no monthly fee for either. Paypal will allow you to have two different types of accounts. What type of cart software are you using? I'm not sure how customizable the Paypal cart is. I believe the rate is 2% on credit cards with Google, currently. In the beginning they gave me 6 months without any fees on transactions. I had another merchant account that was all giltz and glam with a highly tweakable interface, but the customer service was hideous at best.

starring Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Island girl, what about a site that takes you to paypal, but you don't need a paypal account and you can enter your credit card in, but paypal is the host? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureblisscandles Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I just started using ProPay and so far works good for me since I only process very few CC a month. I pd 59.00 for the whole year and then 2-3% on tranactions along with a transfer fee of .30 Saves me that monthly fee. Still come out ahead too. So far no problems.

MissMary Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I use PayPal IPN, no monthly fees, just the 2% and 30 cents. Customers have the option of paying with a PayPal account or just entering in the credit card info. My cart takes them to it, then when they finish, it takes them back to my site.
