2Checkout vs PayPal Payments

2Checkout

2Checkout is great when you sell software licenses online or when you offer SaaS subscriptions. I don't think it can work in other scenarios.

PayPal Payments

Paypal Payments is superb for sites with a single product, a few products, or a donation. It also works well for e-commerce shopping carts where you have a small to medium amount of items. Paypal Payments usually handles the one-time payment of the shopping cart, then directs you back to the merchant's site. This also puts the burden of a secure transaction SSL on Paypal, rather than your own website. If a commerce site is much bigger, or requires many items and/or selections, it may be more advantageous to look at some other options that would handle the payments "on site." This set up would require a site to be tightly secured, as credit card info would be transmitted on the merchant site.

Cons

Local payments methods are an area for improvement. Not all are connected so far.
Bulk updates for catalogs are missing at the moment, to be added in upcoming releases I hope.

Based on 1 answer

It's just a normal support like any other support you could expect. I don't usually need help because I am pretty tech savvy and I do enough research when I have a problem that I can usually troubleshoot for myself.

I've not used any other in many years as I have had issues with all of the other payment methods. PayPal is my number one go-to and has been for years. Your drop down menu will not allow me to choose "none" or "NA".
