What payment gateways are currently popular(other than paypal) | Forum

I am trying to put together a list of the top 5 payment gateways so that when developers want to add gateways to accommodate users they know which ones are popular so they can try to add several at one time instead of trying to guess what people use. 


It needs to be popular

It needs to have an easy API for integration

It needs to be secure

It needs to handle worldwide transactions

It needs to handle credit cards and debit cards as well as internal funds. 

It needs to have mobile version as well

It would be good to have transactions verified by verisign or some other well known SSL company.


I know there are lists online via google but many of those are just dummy lists created by the companies themselves to give them favor.   What i want to know is what are people actually using every day in the real world. 


Thanks :)

Out of the top 5, 3 of them are merchant type in which the seller has to maintain the CC data via PCI requirements.  Most of us don't want to deal with that. 


Seems the only other good choice is possibly 2Checkout.

Tried braintree - api too difficult.
I will also try your suggestion as well as dwolla, authorize.net, 2checkout.  If none of those pan out then its back to just paypal.

i think it depens what country you stay at and if you run a adult business or not do, i agree 2checkout is a hot payment gateway this days and Stripe. so i will vote for this 2 in my top list.


my personaly review is that stripe is working 100% perfect for my business never any issues with them. 2checkout never tried so far but thinking maybe try them

dwolla  - too difficult requires composer install


authorize.net  -- data not secure enough on api input


2checkout -- doable -  i like that they have a hosted option as well where nothing is done on the client side, its all done on 2CO side, thats a good deal.   


payfast.co.za  -- doable


ill look at stripe..
