If you have started a new Ecommerce website or you are thinking about it, you should consider using Paypal for your credit card processor. There are several advantages to using Paypal. Some of them are not readily apparent or obvious when you are doing your research. While its not the ultimate solution, it is excellent if this is your first site.
First of all, installing Paypal on your site is easy. I like easy, it makes my life less complicated. The last thing I need to do is to learn something new. Learning new stuff that I eventually will not use, steals my time. The credit card processing field is loaded with competition. You can get this service from just about anywhere, including your local bank. Set up always tends to be difficult and you need to integrate your bank account in from the beginning of the set up process. I have noticed one unique concept about banks. They always get their money and its not always convenient. You generally have to wait for them to set up your account and wait some more for the details. Getting the processing up and running on your site took me two weeks once, you can have that.
The Paypal API is very simple to sign...
