For Indian SaaS startups, alternative to Paypal for recurring payments?
The new directive from RBI has made Paypal an unviable option for SaaS product companies from India. What are other SaaS companies using currently and how has been your experience?
- ankeshk 16y agoCheck out http://zaakpay.com/ http://zaakpay.com/ Downside: they only work with INR based transactions. No global currency or even just US$ supported.
- lazy_nerd 16y agoWe had applied there to try it out as an alpha (beta?) tester but haven't heard back from them. I hope they launch soon.
- lazy_nerd 16y agoAlertPay seems to be viable option. Anyone here has any good/bad experience with AlertPay?
- dimmuborgir 16y agoI don't think Indian SaaS startups should worry about the $500/transaction limit imposed by RBI. That's pretty huge for SaaS prices. If you indeed want, there are plenty of alternatives: http://www.braintreepaymentsolutions.com/ http://www.braintreepaymentsolutions.com/ , http://chargify.com/ http://chargify.com/ , http://spreedly.com/ http://spreedly.com/ , https://cheddargetter.com/ https://cheddargetter.com/ , http://recurly.com/ http://recurly.com/ Of these, Braintree looks most popular and is used by many big names.
- lazy_nerd 16y agoMost of the alternatives you listed don't support Indian merchants last I checked.
- cheae 16y agoI'm not sure about this, but have you checked moneybookers?
- lazy_nerd 16y agothanks, cheae. I will definitely check it out.

- lazy_nerd 16y agoFrom what I read on quora, CCavenue is a pain to deal with for startups. Also, they don't support recurring payments.
