I know PayPal isn't popular but it's by far the easiest way to accept payments online that I've found. You don't have to live in the US,Canada or EU, which is a weakness of all the new services like Stripe and every other startup promising to "fix payments". I set it up for my small business years ago with no coding or worrying about weird tax rules and it just works. I process each payment manually so there's a bit of a delay for the customers but I've never had a chargeback although my prices are a bit higher.
The main drawback is customers think they need a PayPal account and nobody wants to open one - for good reason. The payment page has a dark pattern that makes it look like you have to sign up to pay by credit card.
