I really wish I could...
When I created my SaaS a few years back, I went all out with payment providers.
I registered and implemented every single form of online payment I could find. PayPal, AlertPay, PayPay, MoneyBookers, LibertyReserve, Bitcoin. You name it, I made that form of payment available. I even accepted money orders via snail mail.
In the ~2 years I gave all of the "other guys" a chance, 99.9% of my payments came via PayPal.
I received 1 money order. Perhaps 3 people paid via LibertyReserve. 0 payments from all of the other providers mentioned. And over 5,000 payments via PayPal.
Unfortunately, there is no other option if you want to sell stuff online.
And this is coming from one of Bitcoins biggest proponents.
