Considered Both Products
GoCardless
Chose GoCardless
GoCardless sends an email when a customer signs up in the portal which is crucial. We have many issues with not knowing when a customer has signed up to make a payment. GoCardless is seamless with a checkbox that makes this function possible. Our other software does not do …
Chose GoCardless
GoCardless better fit Kanopy's needs for the following reasons: (1) desire to decrease credit card payments which carry higher costs, (2) single payment solution for 12+ countries via direct debit at no fees for customers, and (3) better customer integration potential for …
Chose GoCardless
We didn't research a lot of platforms as GoCardless offered pretty much everything we were looking for, i.e low cost, easy to use & implement.
Chose GoCardless
It stacks up well against Stripe but I think they serve different purposes. Stripe is better when it comes to integrations, GoCardless is great for recurring payments, particularly for service-based businesses.
Chose GoCardless
GoCardless provides a simple way to take one-off card payments or set up direct debits for customers. Payment links can be included on electronic invoices, and certainly, from a UK perspective, it provides a more professional appearance than using, say, PayPal for …
Chose GoCardless
For direct debit it is superb. Integration is much easier, and it supports the different strands of our company's UK and European payments landscape.
Chose GoCardless
Gocardless had no integration or monthly fees. You only pay for what you use. Windcave has monthly fees (and a setup fee).
Chose GoCardless
[GoCardless has] lower fees and is easier to use.

Chose 2Checkout from Verifone
There's no comparison. Using PayPal as my payment processor was a nightmare. PayPal was really designed for the purchaser not for the seller. Yes, they were cheap but you get what you pay for. Customer service at PayPal was also non-existent. 2Checkout on the other hand …
Chose 2Checkout from Verifone
I used to sell my software on Avangate and PayPal at the same time. Costs were very similar but I decided to abandon PayPal because it sometimes required human interventions. I also checked DigitalRiver, but it wasn't easy to setup and I never completed all requirements.
Chose 2Checkout from Verifone
Avangate Digital Commerce is more flexible, can be adjusted for your business needs.
Chose 2Checkout from Verifone
Avangate digital commerce is the only available leading payment gateway service provider for Sri Lankans. That is the main reason to choose Avangate for my web store. It's easy and cost-effective and easy to use as a payment gateway service provider overall. Pricing, customer …

Likelihood to Recommend
I think it's a great payment gateway for small businesses which are new to the business and looking for something low budget & an easy-to-use platform to begin accepting the payments. It does streamline the cash flow & gives good visibility to payment status but sometimes it takes 3-4 days in the reconciliation of balances which might not be suitable for businesses looking to have a quick turn-around-time of balances.

2Checkout Monetization Platform is well suited for emerging SaaS businesses because along with payment processing, they offer you exposure to Affiliates and make electronic code delivery easy. The dashboard is cumbersome and reporting graphs/options are not easy to comprehend so it might become trouble when the business grows and you want to show it to venture capitalists or any investor/buyer.

  • 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.

Usability
It has a good web dashboard, you can see who has paid, who hasn’t, when payments will be taken from client and when they will arrive in the bank account
Read full review
It is surreal. Everything feels like they don't really want you to use them. I had to beg them to approve my account because of stupid approval questions. Example: give ONE url where payments will come from. (my payments will come from a page inside my webapp which means absolutely nothing to users who don't have a user in my webapp. I also have many URLs where the users can pay from) Then their API is super complicated to use. I couldn't believe how complicated it is. It is not well explained in the documentation and you have to guess until you understand the underlying logic. I wouldn't use it if I Stripe was available in my country.

Support Rating
There is no phone support, email only, and the support is slow coming. The support staff often don't read your support query properly, so you waste time having to re-explain yourself. That is the only downside of this product.

There's no comparison. Using PayPal as my payment processor was a nightmare. PayPal was really designed for the purchaser not for the seller. Yes, they were cheap but you get what you pay for. Customer service at PayPal was also non-existent. 2Checkout on the other hand is designed for the seller. Their system is mature and feature-filled. It does everything I would need and allows me to present a professional purchasing experience to my clients. The documentation is good, but the best thing about 2Checkout is that I can contact a friendly tech support rep 24/7 via live online chat. I tell them what I'm trying to do and they help me out. If necessary they can escalate the support request and I always receive a chat transcript in my inbox afterward.
