MenuWhat's an easy and cheap online transaction service?
I have a marketplace website that get people to offer their services. What would be an easy way to provide a way so that buyers can pay with paypal or CC, and seller can receive the money (through us)
Answers
PayPal offers a service that includes all card types and PayPal. There are also numerous other providers in the marketplace depending on if you are using a shopping cart, hosted payment page or international acceptance.
I have been in the electronic payments acceptance space for 20+ years so feel free to reach out.
You will want to choose Bitcoin if you are future thinking. Buttercoin.com is building an infrastructure for institutions that want to get into local and international payments.
There are several of them that might be helpful to you when it comes to easy and cheap online transaction service for instance:
1. Due
More recently, Due has allowed users to start accepting secure online payments for just a 2.7 percent transaction rate. Due also accepts global payments, which typically occur within two business days, as well as a digital wallet to send or receive money to anyone in the world instantly with little to no cost.
2. Stripe
Stripe has fascinated users for the last couple of years with its powerful and flexible API. This means that you can tailor the platform to meet your specific needs, whether you’re running a subscription-based company or an on-demand marketplace.
3. Apple Pay
Transactions are faster and more secure, since Apple Pay uses touch ID confirmation. Also, word on the street is that Apple is working on a P2P payments system within iMessage.
4. Payoneer
Receiving payments is free, and the platform includes a flexible API that grows with your business.
5. Amazon Payments
If you want to give customers peace of mind, then accept payments through Amazon.
6. Square
Square changed the game when it introduced its magstripe reader, allowing business owners to swipe credit cards anywhere for a 2.75 percent transaction fee per swipe.
7. Payza
With this popular service, you can send or receive payments from anyone in the world in just a matter of minutes.
8. Venmo
In other words, it is like a hybrid of PayPal and a social network like Facebook, since transactions are shared on an online feed.
9. Intuit GoPayment
Intuit is almost indispensable for a small business owner. Besides being able to accept payments both online and in person with the mobile Go Payment credit card processor, Intuit can assist you with payroll and calculating taxes. Today, online businesses have more payment platform options than ever before. Each platform comes with its own advantages and fallbacks, and it is up to you to find out which is best for your business.

How do I setup my tour agency's bank accounts in multiple countries?
Hello, I believe that you may be over-complicating this a little. Typically, you need to have either citizenship or some other legal presence within a country to open a checking account within it. I would recommend establishing accounts in your own country first and then using ATMs in other countries to withdraw money, as "wiring" money internationally can be expensive. If you just need to pay for expenses while abroad, look instead into using credit cards that have no foreign transactions fees such as the Capital One Venture Card. If you really need accounts in multiple countries, you will likely need to incorporate within them. As for accepting payments in different currencies. Your best bet will probably be 2Checkout or Stripe Atlas to start. Stripe Atlas will probably have lower fees but will take more technical expertise to get up and running. Best of luck to you!PP

How do I offer a concierge like checkout on my website?
Hi there.I have have about 2 years experience in afiliate-commision-based business but have considerable experience in e-commerce and epayment solutions. This is a very creative concept and believe it has real value. Since your business model border around afiliates COMMISSION then I like to believe also that when you successfully sign up as an afiliate, you receive a unique ID and URL for your afiliate membership. Trying to achieve this 'solution' of concierge-type checkout might not be the right way. Why? Because you want your customers to have a seemless order fulfilment experience. I do not think it makes a good customer experience for your customer to enter his/her credit card details twice along a payment fulfilment journey. Your concern as an afiliate should be the afiliate-merchant recognizing the purchase fulfilment referral SOURCE - which is your unique afiliate ID. So, you have the customer click on your website link for checkout , while he/she is redirected to the main merchant's website for payment fulfilment AND your ID parsed during that transaction to your afiliaite-merchant for proper reconciliation purposes. After all, you referred the customer and your entitlement is your COMMISSION. Another reason why providing a separate 'Checkout' experience might not work is because you do not have control over the PAYMENT PROCESSOR agreement or partnership with your upstream merchant. The solution you might explore should be: 1. Consult with each afiliate-merchant and discuss on an AUTOMATED method whereby during the checkout REDIRECT process towards the afiliate-merchant CHECKOUT PAGE, your ID will be captured from the URL so that your commission is remitted appropriately in line with your UNIQUE AGREEMENT with each afiliate merchant. 2. You might need to discuss with each of your afiliate-merchant around API(application programming interface) design to help you achieve item 1 solution.EO

How can I test payment models for an app without having a company to get an account with payment processors such as Stripe?
If you're asking about processing point-of-sale payments, have you considered using the smart phone tools available from Square, PayPal or QuickBooks? You don't need to have a formal business entity structure to use these. A sole proprietorship is a viable business model to conduct some sales and test payments.SV

Advise on ecommerce.
Such solutions are wiedly available to current ecommerce business. Question you would have to ask yourself if what makes your different, what is unique in your product that is not currently available. You are targeting (basically) 2 types of customers: 1. Those who already have a solution in place 2. THose who are opening their ecommerce business now (maybe due to COVID-19) situation. You need to have selling strategy for both. By that I mean they way you find them, make contact and explain to them painpoints that you are looking to solve if they were to implement your solution. Please also remember that when dealing with payment service, you are probably facing ton of regulations that you need to follow - I would be sure that you have that in place before you push further. Security angle is also very important. Good luck!ML

Anyway to setup recurring payment daily at specific time or time window in Paypal or any other processor?
Most payment processors on the internet have a Recurring Billing option to bill for a specific interval for a specific recurrence count. I recall Authorized.net specifically does it and can meet PCI compliance. Most processors offer recurring option but may not provide a daily option. You may need to a custom solution such as Authorized.net Customer Information Manager (CIM) for dynamic recurring billing (you bill your customers different amounts or on different days each month).MB
