Pay Pal is looking Better!
PayPal is looking pretty good now.
I know, I know, it's Pay Pal but have you looked at their new features lately and their rates are hard to beat.
They now have a shopping cart feature .. Just put a button on your site and the cart pops up in a window and shows the item(s) and totals. Best of all, PayPal's Shopping Cart is free.
Another new feature is the recurring billing or Subscriptions! No need to keep entering users data or sending a bill, it's all automatically done now, even has trial periods if you need them.
As far as the users are concerned, it's just like any other CC payment process on the Internet. It's even better if you already have an account with them, saves lot's of time.
Costs ..
We get charged 2.2% + 30¢ not bad .. No costly monthly merchant account fees, no gateway fees, no statement fees, no monthly charges!

We currently have a Merchant account with Signio Gateway and are looking at this seriously, it will save us a bundle each month in fees. We have had the PayPal account ever since they started business accounts but haven't used it because it just wasn't a serious payment method for many reasons. Our outlook on them has changed now, they are looking much much better!
As far as International orders are concerned, I see that they offer transactions for quite a few countries, not sure who is left out but looks to be a pretty good listing anyways.
Anyone using them have any thoughts?
