I've got a website that requires credit card processing. Currently it
does only a couple of transactions a day.
At the moment we're using PayPal because there was zero set up fees,
no monthly fees and we didn't need to go through the bother of
becoming a credit card merchant.
Unfortunately we've encountered some problems with PayPal (PayPal
pages timing out when people try to pay us, credit cards being
rejected even though the user insists the card is ok, notifications
from PayPal that a sale has happened taking several minutes or hours
to come through to us, etc).
So I've been looking for a replacement to PayPal. Ideally the
replacement would offer:
Low set up fee ($100 or less).
Low or no monthly fee.
A good back-end that lets me view the transactions processed and issue
refunds (either full or partial).
No credit card merchant account needed.
Able to transfer money into my NZ bank account whenever I want and
with low or no transfer fees.
I've looked at what the various banks and other outfits like DPS and
WorldPay are offering and I find their fees and the hoops you have to
jump through to get an account to be excessive.
Can anyone suggest a service that fills my needs? It doesn't have to
be based in NZ but that would be nice from a support point of view.
I've found
www.paymex.co.nz that looks good and appears to meet all of
my needs as far as I can see. Does anyone have any experience with
them?
