It is one of the most widely used payment gateway’s online. You as an e-commerce website owner can easily integrate it in to your website’s shopping cart.
The buyer on your website no longer has to fill in a 2 page form to checkout; instead they can just checkout using their PayPal id. Faster checkouts means more conversions for the website owner.
Not only do they have customer data protection but they also have excellent fraud prevention and seller protection features as a part of their system.
#3 Stripe

Who suggested this product? The Stripe was recommended by Zlatko Bijelic from Tako Agency. You can find out more about Zlatko Bijelic here or read their product recommendation below. |
They are the primary payment gateway for anyone running an online (or brick and mortar) business and need to accept payment. Stripe is leading the industry with it’s evolving product; they are continually making considerable improvements to make it easier for companies to get paid. A person looking for payment processing service, look no further than Stripe.
You can get set up with Stripe in less than 5 mins – and if you are looking to integrate Stripe into our online store – that shouldn’t take more than 15-20 mins. Most of the time, these online store platforms (Shopify, WordPress, Magento, etc.) already have a default Stripe integration that allows you simply login using your Stripe account. It doesn’t get any easier.
#4 PayKickstart

#5 Braintree
 |
Who suggested this product? The Braintree was recommended by Akos Gabossy from PanIQ ROOM franchise. You can find out more about Akos Gabossy here or read their product recommendation below. |
I’m the CEO and Co-founder of the PanIQ ROOM franchise. Majority of our tickets our sold online, and we developed our custom made booking system, where we use Braintree as an integrated payment system. Since we are an old customer, plus have a great volume going through our accounts, we got some additional discounts from Paypal. Braintree works flawlessly, we like to see the reports in their back-end system. It’s safe and fast. We are currently thinking about using the same technology to replace Square in our stores, which basically means our local sales will be done through internet.
