PayPal is one of the leading payment platforms used on e-commerce websites as it is fast, easy, and secure.
However, according to an article in Search Engine Journal, some negatives of the service are: it is hard to reach customer service, digital goods do not have seller protection, high fees; PayPal suspends accounts without warning; and transferring money to your bank account can take time.
The article lists what it sees as the top alternatives:
1. Google Pay App
2. Square
3. Wise
4. Stripe
5. Payoneer
6. Shopify Payments
7. Authorize.net
8. Braintree
9. 2Checkout
10. Dwolla
11. QuickBooks Payments
12. Amazon Pay
13. Skrill
There is also the option of using multiple payment gateways to allow consumers to choose how they would like to checkout.
