Paypal alternative

We are using paypal for our services, but some of our customers having problem. Do you know good alternative which allows recurring payments and low transaction commission, because our services start from $1.28 per month.

The price point is kind of low. Your best bet is a processor with only a percentage fee, any that are a % + $ you're going to be paying a ton for each transaction. I'm not sure who allows price points that low and also does recurring.

i had the same problem before too coz my products are only 1.95$ and paypal is charging as much as 2.5% + 0.30$ .. but now i am using
e-paysecure.com .. they have very low fees and a lot of options to add funds and withdraw funds.. they allow withdrawal to other e-currency as well.. you might want to try it out..

I am just starting up my online store, and am exploring ecommerce providers. I came across SWREG. They have new pricing for 0% swreg.org/zeropercentecommerce.htm. The features offered make it pretty interesting.

What about AlertPay? I like paypal the best though. I have used it for years with no problems.

Look at Amazon Flexible Payments Service. It can do anything a merchant account can; individual charges, recurring charges, etc. But it can also do some neat things like store multiple payments against an account and charge them all at once, so that you can build up a few of those $1.28 charges before actually charging the payer's card, saving you in transaction fees.
