Stripe

Conveniently, Stripe automatically deposits your funds into your bank account. Another convenient feature of Stripe is that the checkout process takes place on your website. That reduces customer friction compared to platforms like PayPal, which sends customers to external sites. The platform is also highly customisable.

Payoneer

Even with the free Payoneer account, the system requires a $1.50 fee for any local bank transfer or ACH. One nice feature of Payoneer that not every other option offers is the Billing Service. This lets you set repeat payments. It comes with an additional fee of 1% or 3% for debit or credit card payments, respectively. You can also use Payoneer and its currency conversion features to do international transactions, as the system uses the market exchange rate. It also supports escrow payments — a unique offering.

Apple Pay

Apple Pay is one of the most popular online payment systems among iPhone users. More than 85% of retailers accept it, so your customers likely expect you to do so as well. That being said, you don’t necessarily need to get Apple Pay separately, as the best payment systems, like Podium, accept customer payment options from Apple Pay.

Amazon Pay

Importantly, Amazon Pay is only a good option if you already have an Amazon seller account. You will need to create one of those accounts to use this feature. From there, you can integrate it with Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, and other major eCommerce and shopping cart platforms. But you can’t use it for brick-and-mortar stores.
