PayPal is brilliant if you're just starting out selling online.
It's also brilliant way of paying online for visitors that use PayPal.
However...
For visitors that don't have PayPal it can be confusing to pay with a debit or credit card
... and we've found recently that this is becoming a larger problem and causing visitors to get to the checkout stage to pay, getting confused, and then abandoning the checkout and not paying!
Meaning lost sales!
We passionately believe in technology being easy to use.
That's why we've just integrated with WorldPay's latest online payments system providing an exceptionally easy way to pay online in your checkout using debit or credit card.
Better still you can also have PayPal enabled meaning visitors can choose to pay by card OR by PayPal!
