Use Paypal Pro - you can have the payment page look as your site, and you can have subscription too. More importantly, the fee is much lower as compared to 2CO.

Wonder why you said so? I like to know the down side apart from the fact that paypal have quite a bad reputation of chargeback.

Re: Alternatives to 2Checkout?

Chargebacks. Freezing accounts. Taking months to get accounts reinstated. Terrible customer service. But, then again, I'm a PayPal user because it's quick and easy.

What is PayPal Pro?

It's an upgraded Paypal Service that works more like a true merchant account and gateway (but not quite as good). Customers can pay through your website like you were using a gateway. The costs are the same as an average merchant account.

Re: Alternatives to 2Checkout?

Pay Pal also doesn't listen to a word you have to say about your case even if you have proof the customer committed fraud etc.

They even allowed a customer of mine to reverse the charge & then reverse the reversal & then months later reverse again claiming they never authorized the transaction when clearly all the while the customer knew exactly what they were doing.

This was on a so called "authorized" account & I trusted PP to do their job & screen people who had such an acct.

Even with a clean account & near perfect record, they treated me like I was a criminal & just took the customer's word no questions asked.

I will never use them again.

I'm now using

http://www.alertpay.com/?BDU2NzID

Not 100% up to snuff on all the things PP offers, but getting there.

It's not that easy to set up a PP type service.

They also allow for adult or high risk accounts which which won't allow customers to commit fraud & do chargebacks even after receiving the product/service you are selling.

You pay more, but they protect you.

Thanks

I'm using Nochex whenever possible. But this is not available to users outside the UK. It's a much better service than PP, no chargeback, and lower fees.
