Accepting mobile payments on your eCommerce app or website is a no-brainer. But with so many services available, picking the right one for your business can be a bit of a challenge. To make the decision easier, we’ve put together a list of 10 mobile app payment methods you can use.
But before we get into this, it’s important to note that not all payment methods are created equal. So while you’re looking at this list, keep in mind factors such as transaction fees, multi-currency support, reputation, terms and conditions, whether the payment method is supported on your eCommerce platform, if it accepts all types of cards, and how long the contract is.
1. Braintree
When you are managing money you want to make sure a trusted brand is facilitating the process. We highly recommend Braintree as a payment gateway for ecommerce websites. Braintree is very customisable providing businesses with the technology and support to scale business online
2. Assembly Payments
Assembly Payments, formerly known as a Promise Pay, is the world’s most flexible payments platform. Manage inbound and outbound payments with one of the most transparent payment gateways available.
Assembly Payments offers different tiered subscription services to use their software. Why not head over to the website and create a test account? Trial how their payment system works first hand and see if it’s the right fit for you and your business.
3. AfterPay/ZipPay
An adapted version of the ‘layby’ philosophy, these two ‘buy now, pay over time’ products from AfterPay and ZipPay have taken Australia by storm.
Generally these types of products charge a business a fee for each transaction that the business’ customer completes, with the rationale being that the customer may not have purchased if they had to pay for it all upfront.
4. Stripe
Stripe is another popular online payment method that, unlike PayPal Payments Standard, keeps your customers on-site (for free).
However, it’s not as easy to set up as PayPal and requires more web development skills to integrate. But if you’ve got the budget, you can simply hire a developer to help you out.
5. PayPal
PayPal is a household name, and for good reason. It’s immediately recognisable and your customers will feel safe using it. PayPal Payments Standard is easy to get started, has no set-up or termination fees, has a detailed transactions dashboard, and accepts over 25 currencies from over 200+ countries and markets.
The only potential downside? It takes customers away from your site to complete their purchase. But if this is a big issue, it’s worth considering PayPal Payments Pro.
6. Adyen
Looking for a simple approach? Then Adyen is a great option, providing a single solution for payment processing through any device. It can operate with local payment methods globally to ensure that business customers are always able to complete a transaction, and in the way that is most comfortable for them.
