I've been looking into alternatives for Paypal (because Paypal has only support for 55 countries, I had a customer from russia lately who had to go through payru.com to make a payment, I think the comission they charge are unfair).Lately when I visited wikipedia I saw they were using Moneybookers as an alternative for paypal to make donations to them...
There are a few advantages to the moneybookers system:- support for a lot of countries: only residents from Myanmar and Nigeria are not allowed to create an account- support for a lot of currencies: Euro, British Pound, Bulgarian Lev, U.S. Dollar, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Czech Koruna, Danish Krone, Estonian Koruna, Hong Kong Dollar, Hungarian Forint, Israeli Shekel, Japanese Yen, Latvia Lat, Malaysian Ringgit, New Taiwan Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Krone, Polish Zloty, Singapore Dollar, Slovakian Koruna, Slovenian Tollar, South-African rand, South-Korean won, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc and Thailand Baht.
There are a few disadvantages as well as far I can see:
- a big drawback for me is that you seem not to be able to create a button for your website with a set price (have a functionality like the paypal buy button)
- before I visited wikipedia I never heared of moneybookers before, the website states it's there since 2002, but still I don't know how reliable that info is...
Now for the questions:
- Does anyone use/have used Moneybookers before and how are your experiences with that system?
- Are you using an other alternative for PayPal? If so which system and how pleased are you about that?
