Does anyone know if the automated order taking websites allow payment options besides paypal? I'd like it if when an order comes in that the payment either go directly to my bank account or anything EXCEPT paypal. I'm selling a course with books and audio.

Thanks

There are others like 2Co , but none of them direct deposit into your bank, for two main reasons. Buyers want a third party involved and secondly you want it automated and these third party payment processing companies charge to do that.

You can go direct into your account but you have to become and pay to be a merchant which will be far more hassle then Paypal. Also its useless until you have credibility and can offer your customers security.

Just use Paypal or 2co and be done with it.

I agree with Matthew, it's for your safety as well. I would recommend using Authorize.net - not the greatest customer service in the world, but they definitely have a comfort factor for the shopper since they're all over the web.

I've been using them for years. No probs.

Thanks for responding but the replies don't answer my question. The question isn't which alternatives to Paypal exist, the question is which book and cd order processing site will accept them instead of paypal.

PayPal Standard, PayPal Pro, Google Checkout, Authorize.Net, TrialPay, ClickBank and 2CheckOut.

So there are alternatives to Paypal - you can choose which form of payment you wish to accept.

Not sure if this answers your question :)

E-junkie.com charges $5 per month for single product and handle all your transactions/downloads. I am using them and so far, no complaints at all.

Nope, it doesn't answer my question at all. Which delivery sites allow me to use paypal alternatives is the question.

E-junkie.com is a delivery site that allows you to use payment methods other than Paypal.

So perhaps you could rephrase the question so it is a little clearer, people here do genuinely want to help answer your question.
