Ask HN: What's the best option for easy payment processing?
Hi HN - I'm a designer and Rails-dabbler building an MVP that needs to take payments.
I'm comfortable integrating with something like Stripe or GoCardless but would rather not code a full integration with SagePay etc. I'd also rather not touch PayPal - had too many friends with businesses burned by them.
I'm also in the UK, which unfortunately rules out Stripe for now.
Are there any other alternatives to GoCardless I should be looking at?
- yitchelle 14y agoI asked a similar question for online payment systems for Europe. You may get some insight from the discussions.. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4379697 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4379697
- helen842000 14y agoI guess it depends on what you're selling but what about Gumroad? Works well for digital products/downloads.

- dangrossman 14y agoCode against SpreedlyCore and you can point your account at Stripe, SagePay, PayPal, or whoever offers you the best rates at the time. If PayPal burns you, you change one variable in your code and all your payments hit a different payment processor. The differences between all the payment APIs are abstracted away from you, and similar to Stripe/PayPal, payment data never touches your server so most of the PCIDSS compliance burden disappears... yet customers never leave your site, either.
