Yesterday I posted the first part of this two-part podcast series about taking payments online. In this the second part I look more in depth at taking credit card payments online and complete my discussion of Paypal.com. In particular I note my experiences with credit card fraud which you can find recounted in my business timeline part 2 and how that affected my decision process when looking for a credit card payment system for my business BetterEdit.com.
In this podcast I discuss these payment options:
- Paypal.com
- 2Checkout.com
- Paymate.com.au
- Merchant facilities provided by a bank
An excellent 2 part series Yaro. Thanks for mentioning me in the 1st part – I’m famous!!! I think I’ll go with Paypal if I set up an online store, then. Paymate sounds good, but isn’t international! I hope the customer service side of Paypal gets better, so I can rely on them. Ace podcasts again Yaro! Ben
I really enjoy your podcast. Part 2 was really good…it is interesting to hear from someone who has been ripped off over the internet – it is way more prevalent than the industry likes to let on. The problem is it hits the “small” sites the hardest – the Amazons of the world can absorb a lot more fraud than a small site can.
The site I am setting up for my family business already has a merchant account so we are going to go the manual route to start – our shopping cart (shopsite.com) has a back office component to it that allows us to manual process the order. I have been thinking at adding Paypal as an option but because of your posdcast will now investigate 2checkout.com as well.
Thanks for the info.
This looks like an interesting site: http://www.paypalsucks.com/
