As with any service or product, there will be both advantages and disadvantages to each option. Each service has
it's own characteristics which may or may not fit your needs. To help you decide how you will accept credit cards
online, the above basic comparison chart should explain each of two generally popular ways to sell online. Simply
follow the links to find out more and sign up with 2checkout.com and PayPal.
If you are just starting up and do not want to incur the cost of applying for a merchant account, do not want to
pay monthly gateway fees, statement fees etc or you have difficulty getting a merchant account as in the case of
most countries outside USA, then 3rd party payment processors or selling through a reseller like 2checkout.com are
your best options.
While there are 100 million PayPal accounts, many potential buyers are not prepared to open a PayPal account
just to make a single purchase, so it wise to go for 2checkout as well.
This greatly increases your sales because you have both.
To Your Success!
