What is the simplest way to charge money over the Internet? [closed]

Answer 1

I've used 2checkout.com for years and found it to be a good solution. I eventually switched to regnow but only because I wanted to take advantage of their affiliate network.

Here are some options:

• 2checkout.com
• regnow (also has affiliate network)
• paypal - In contrast to what most people think, you don't need a paypal account to buy from you.
• Google Checkout

Answer 2

Paypal is fairly straight forward and secure.

Answer 3

One thing to bear in mind when choosing a provider is whether you need to have a recurring payment model. Are your products charged as a one-off fee, or more along a subscription model? Things like Paypal have limited support for recurring payments.[1]

[1] At least, they did when I investigated it a while ago. May have changed now.

Answer 4

Amazon Flexible Payment Service

Answer 5

I've had good experiences with PlugNPay. Their support staff is responsive and API is easy to use.

Answer 6

google and yahoo both offer decent service, and they don't require your customers to create an account.
