Should I have another payment merchant?

[xinghu]

Hi

I currently have PayPal on my website to take payments. Although the fees can be a bit high at times, PayPal is a good way for us to get money in using debit and credit cards as well as PayPal accounts.

Some people have said that having PayPal is off-putting and would not pay for items using their service. I was wondering if it is worth having an alternative payment merchant such as Google Checkout or SagePay rather than just PayPal?

In essence, they all do exactly the same thing and take payments by some means so I am unsure whether it is viable.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Thank you
Andrew

apart from anything else, sage pay with streamline is cheaper than payapl so it makes financial sense, but some people love paypal and some people hate it, so IMO you need options.

It doesn't hurt to have multiple processors. We offer paypal, google checkout and worldpay to our customers. Paypal is probably the most popular but some people just don't like them Google Checkout in my honest opinion is much better, payments are straight into our account and the fees are lower.
