Good alternatives to PaySystems?

[JohnnyVegas]

I have been using Paysystems for over a year. Now that they suddenly went bust I am lost to what to go with.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions that are similiar to Paysystems?

 

I looked at Verisign, but it seems thier costs are out there. It seems to be $80 just to run there process then additional processing fees from the merchant services.

 

Seems rather high to me.

 

anyone?

Johnny - I'm in the same boat.

 

I'm UK based though so have a different slant on this but here's my thinking:

 

1. 2CO - currently not on my list. I tried them just after they launched native GBP support. It was buggy - you would pass, e.g. ?30.00 to 2CO and then when the customer arrtived at 2CO payment page it would be ?30.11 or similar - as if 2CO was internally converting to USD and rounding up or something. Anybody use it for GBP transactions now and know if this problem has been fixed?

 

2. Worldpay - the thing I don't like about these guys is the set-up fee. I've read on forums before that if you call them up you can often negotiate it. I tried - no such luck - completely stuck their guns on the amount. Anybody know a sneaky way to get this waived?

 

3. Protx + merchant account. Can anybody recommend a UK merchant account or have you seen any comparisons online anywhere - am really trying to keep the monthly outgoings down.

 

Cheers... HB

Hi,

 

I'm in the same boat.

Any idea for 3rd party credit card processor or merchant account for international business?

Thank you.
