There’s so many good payment gateways out there, each with a unique set of benefits and downfalls.
A few things I always look for:
- Aggregator or MSP? Aggregators tend to be convenient and quick to set up, but cost more in the long run. An MSP will connect you with a merchant account which might take longer, but there’s a good chance their rates will be cheaper in the long run.
- BitPay has always been an amazing Bitcoin payment processor if that’s your thing
- Paypal, Stripe, Square and Braintree are all very solid services with good services.
- Perhaps consider if you will need recurring billing, invoicing, tokenization or other features before pulling the trigger on a service!
