Braintree, a PayPal service vs. Worldline Global Collect

Braintree is a lower cost alternative to many of the options business owners have through their bank. However, they will need to be techy or be working with a developer to set up. The setup and backend isn't as user friendly as alternatives. Braintree is a great option if you'll need to manually type in credit card details. Banks will sometimes charge a lot more for that option. The manual option is nice if your clients aren't as tech savvy and prefer to pay over the phone than to pay on your website.

This company has the biggest number of payment terminals in the world, so we went with them because it must have the most data available. And the tool does the work very well, it just feels a bit outdated or not on the cutting edge side but really works for what you need it to do. We had some hiccups in setting the rules up and the integration, might not be the simplest one to do but in the end the integration worked well.

• Braintree has excellent integration with the BigCommerce platform. The switch of our previous payment processing gateway to Braintree was very easy and only required a few clicks.
• Tying into Braintree's BigCommerce integration, for company's like ours that are on the BigCommerce enterprise plan, Braintree's rates for BigCommerce enterprise customers are extremely competitive and saved us money.

There's a huge cost in migrating payment providers, and we're very happy with Braintree so far.

As a product, functionality has been fine for us. In our experience, some issues during On Boarding but because we had a dedicated Account Manager assigned to us, these issues were dealt with. Now we are a customer, it feels like they have stopped caring about us or aren't interested in working with us to resolve any issues we have.

Their support is a joke. There's nothing "supportive" about them. Every time I call in with an issue no one has an answer or even a recommendation. I am put on hold and no one ever comes back. It's time to find another processor.

It is simple for a developer to do.

Braintree is better at handling international payments and supporting a variety of payment methods that can all be configured from the same dashboard. Braintree supports PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc. in addition to simply credit cards like Stripe. Braintree has a vault of existing user payment methods so the user doesn't have to re-enter their information each time.

Ingenico ePayments has probably the best cost-to-benefit ratio. It's very versatile at its core, and the fees are not among the worst. You need to invest a little bit in your first integration, but in the long run, it pays out. In general, it provides anything you need in an eCommerce platform for the right price.
