    Online payments (Europe)

    Hey there !

    I would need to accept online payments from European clients

    At the moment, my solutions could be :
    - Paypal
    - 2 CO
    - CCnow

    Targeting European clients (a key issue), speaking English, French, Italian, German (another key issue) I would love to get a payment solution easy to implement (buy now feature !)

    What do you think about that ?

    Thanks !

    What about going to your banks and getting your own merchant account?

    Popular through webmasters

    Thanks for the advice but I will not use that solution

    I have to sell some online services for about 100 euros on a "buy it now !" base

    i was highly interested in using moneybookers for a project of mine, but it seems they don't offer a subscription style service like paypal?

    You should open a new topic on moneybooker or use the "search" engine

    This topic is not about moneybooker at all

    True, but their verification process is not always easy as far as I've heard

    Please, let's go back to the initial topic :

    - Paypal
    - 2 CO
    - CCnow

    I forgot = Worldpay and Commercegate (but the later are mainly in the adult industry - which is not the purpose here)

    Targeting European clients (a key issue), speaking English, French, Italian, German (another key issue) I would love to get a payment solution easy to implement (buy now feature !)

    Any idea and relevant experience ?

    WorldPay have been around for a long time and are owned by RBS in the UK. They have a pretty comprehensive service but are a bit arrogant regarding their attitude to merchants.

    PayPal works well and fees are low, but it's best to offer this as a second option.

    I think that 2CO is the best one

    I see - I would not like that ...

    I do have the same opinion

    For me it is the easiest way to have a "plug & play" payment solution (on a "buy it now !" basis) BUT I am looking for something else

    I do like 2CO but in my opinion the clients ordering process is not European friendly

    I would like the ordering process to be writen in English with the choice of international languages (Italian, Spanish, German, French ...)

    Worldpay : seems complicated to me to apply and start doing business

    Seems to be very interesting (even if very UK oriented)

    Do you know some websites using this payment solution ?

    Can you sell some services on a "buy it now !" basis like we can do with Paypal ?

    Anyway, thanks for the link

    I know that sellers on ebay using Nochex.
    Few examples of the website who is using Nochex:
    http://www.lamp-post.co.uk/payment.php
    http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/

    For sellers account limits:
    You can only process UK payments with a Nochex Seller Account. If you need to accept international payments, then you will need to apply for a Nochex Merchant Account.

    With a Nochex Seller account you can receive instant card payments of up to £100 from any non-member of Nochex and £300 a day from any full member. If you need to process individual payments of more than £100 then you will need to apply for a Nochex merchant Account
    Can you sell some services on a "buy it now !" basis like we can do with Paypal ?
    Yes you can, but you need to do the button image & html code manually. Manual: http://help.nochex.com/esupport/inde...ndetails&_i=94

A very long verification process (or a gateway that requires buyer registration, god forbid!) can "kill" a lot of transactions. You don't want that to happen to you.
    You're definitively right - That's the key issue

    + a company that doesn't disappear with your money tomorrow !

    Well,

    You need to find a company that's been around for a while and keeps on growing. It's hard, yet possible, to get transactions from all over the world and stay protected from fraud.

    I'm afraid the site is available in German only.

    The way these things work usually is that the easier it is to sign-up, the more likely it is that you will not get paid.
