Getting PAID! 20/20

Well, apparently Google checkout is gone since November of last year, so that is not a viable option. Although it seems their mobile app, GoogleWallet may still function.

Paypal is a way to make payments online and it's pretty great because they don't have set-up fees and stuff like that. You just can choose your button and copy and paste the html right into your site. It was pretty simple. Also, they show you what kind of percentages they charge for payments made, which is also good to be able to see...as seen below:

SOLUTIONS	PayPal Payments Standard	PayPal Payments Advanced	PayPal Payments Pro
MONTHLY FEE	$0	$5	$30
SETUP FEE	$0	$0	$0
TRANSACTION FEE FOR ONLINE PAYMENTS (based on monthly sales) $0 to $3,000	2.9% + $0.30	2.9% + $0.30	2.9% + $0.30
$3,001+ to $10,000	2.5% + $0.30*	2.5% + $0.30*	2.5% + $0.30*
$10,001 to $100,000	2.2% + $0.30*	2.2% + $0.30*	2.2% + $0.30*
$100,001+	2.2% + $0.30*	2.2% + $0.30*	2.2% + $0.30*

Take Away:

I like how paypal is free for customers to use. They don't have to have an account.

I also like that paypal has been around and because of that I feel like it's a trusted company.

I'm planning on using paypal for my website. It has simple features and doesn't take too much percentage off the top. I also think that it is designed well for easy use for customers. I want our customers to have an easy time.
