Top Website E-Commerce Payment Gateways Explained!

Introduction

Online spending grew 4.6% to £1.75bn in the first half of 2009, while TV spending shrank 16.1% to £1.64bn. The internet is growing exponentially so without the ability to take payments online many businesses will lose out to the competition.

Fortunately, there are several major players in the online payment gateway game that can provide us with clean, secure and simple methods of accepting payments online.

Sagepay (Formally Protx)
Sagepay provides a simple solution allowing you to accept most widely used debit / credit cards (and more recently, PayPal) and offers 24/7 support for UK customers. Fully secure and easy to implement with a great back end system. The control panel allows you to manage all orders, perform refunds and other useful features in a simple manner whilst keeping the various features you need from a website payment gateway. With several integration methods and facilities for web developers and web design preston to use this is one of our most used payment gateways.

PayPal

Created by the people who started eBay, PayPal is now a household name when it comes to online payments. With secure payments originally through creation of PayPal accounts (so no debit / credit cards required) and the ability to link in with eBay and other online trading stores it quickly became popular. New features include the removal of needing a PayPal account, so direct card payments can be made quickly and cost effectively.

Google Checkout
Internet giant Google created Google checkout to rival the large payment gateways and using their Web Development Genius created a simple, quick and interactive payment gateway. Linkable with Google accounts allowing the user to transfer data from Google adsense, Google adwords, webmaster tools and others makes Google checkout the web payment gateway of choice for many. With simple buy now buttons quickly available to designers and custom built complex checkout systems available for the more experienced developers.

RBS Worldpay

Although less popular than the others, Worldpay provides the user with all the security and efficiency required in an online payment gateway.
