MyCommerce vs. 2Checkout from Verifone

DR doesn't work well with PayPal subscriptions, renewal rate is very low. So, if company is using a subscription model it should have another payment system as a backup

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.

Incentivized

• Almost fully customized templates
• Very simple subscription flow
• Allows to generate license on the fly using callback to back-end server
• Very good technical support

• 2Checkout handles credit cards that I would not be able to accept from my country.
• Fraud prevention works. They saved me a couple of times and I appreciate that.
• I always received my payments on time. I never had to complain.

Incentivized

• Definitely need Web-based API to manage subscription including changes in renewal date
• Add more languages (especially Arabic)
• Redirect user to PayPal directly without entering to shopping cart

• In the 2Checkout dashboard, searching for transactions is a bit awkward
• I wish there were more reports available for me in the 2Checkout dashboard

DR is good enough and it also depends what's the company goals. DR solves a lot of problems for company and it saves money in some cases.

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.

We are using Stripe as alternative solution for some categories of users and as a backup. Stripe has much more flexible API but less flexible template customization.

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 care, payout process and reporting is very good at Avangate.

Incentivized

• Works well with credit card renewals
• Strong fraud detection system (very important)
• Doesn't work well with PayPal renewals
• High enough fee
• Overall DR is good in this area

• I now get excellent customer service as compared to when I was with PayPal
• I no longer have to subject my customers to the pain of maintaining a PayPal account
• 2Checkout allows me to offer the same service as any large company and I'm a 1 man show
