Today, I bring you a guest post from Michele from The Mommy Blogger. I know there are several other mommy blogger out there reading this and may need some advise from someone who knows a lot more than I do about this thing called blogging. So here's some alternatives to PayPal for my Bloggy friends!
Alternatives to PayPal for Bloggers
PayPal is certainly a popular way to "pay and get paid" on the internet today. There are some wonderful benefits to this service but they also tend to have a fairly high number of customer service related complaints. So if you are a blogger looking to add a payment service to your blog then you may want to consider one of the other options mentioned below.
- Checkout This is a payment service provided by Amazon that can only be used if you are selling actually goods. In other words, it cannot be used for services or donations. This service is very user-friendly and costs almost nothing. Users only have to pay when a purchase has been made and the fee is small. In addition, they have excellent security settings.
- WePay This service is often preferred because customers do not need to create an account or register to use it. Credit card or bank account payments can be made directly through this very easy to use system. WePay will also create a web page to add onto an existing site with relevant payment information which makes it easy for bloggers and customers alike.
- Advantage is a merchant provider where you can apply even if you have a high risk business. And you can get the attachment for your iPhone or iPad if you sell something in person.
NOTE:
The links attached to this post are backed by Michele and are not necessarily backed by me. I use PayPal and have had no problems and do not use any of the other mentioned options nor am I an affiliate with any of them.I agreed to post this as a part of a guest post exchange via The Mommy Blogger Directory and chose to because I thought her post could be helpful to bloggers reading here at as Jules is going.
