Use Sagepay but Paypal PRO will save us £6k p/a in commision

Anyone any experience, Sage was 1.7% down to 1.2%

No problems with Pro here, added benefit that your fees go lower if you offer Pay Pal too as the fees are based on what you stick through them as a whole. Can't accept Amex cars but has 3DS. Been pretty rock solid TBH, had an issue with payments failing after 3DS but was fixed quickly. What solution are you looking at with Pro?

Quoted us Amex at 1.4% - just double checked it.

We have asked them again over Am Ex one big corp uses it all the time so we need it, I wont accept offsite checkout we just paid to bring it on site

[DSLiverpool]

To be honest I only found out we were changing today at our management meeting, the manager and finance guy are looking at all overhead and this is their baby. I am a big believer that people like PayPal, I never used to be, I thought it smacked of eBay seller but it's very popular and I prefer it as well when I buy. Will check tomorrow.

[DSLiverpool]

Our rep came back with 1.4% and a definite yes - we go live in a week so time will tell - don't you love big faceless companies

[DSLiverpool]

We have Paypal express its IMHO essential these days as people dislike putting card info in.

Are you now live with this? Amex cards working??

Yes and no, its ready to roll but as we are having a new UK website and Brightperl CMS we decided to do the lot at once, Brightperl launches August attached to old website, new website Sept.

I have got in writing that AmEx is not an issue.

Drop me an email when it's live & working please because my business support contact says Amex is not supported with Pro as does all the documentation. Ta

Will do - they are doing something clever with our German site as well meaning it will be less hassle doing our accounts - lots of webby crap going on here I will be glad when its all over.

[DSLiverpool]

Yes and yes - all good on new checkout - we have a new new checkout being written now, its by far the cleanest one I have ever seen - should be live by month end in our old site

[DSLiverpool]

Sorry I meant written in - it's a plug in checkout they showed me a few weeks ago and it's impressively clean, knows your card so no card selection impressed me - I'm easily impressed

Did you get this working? I guess not as the site in your profile still uses Sagepay? I tested Amex on our sites and still no go so if you did get it working please point me to the site that uses it. TIA.

No we didnt - and I stopped looking into it for reasons I will soon disclose - I was happy to get the site finished and will be happier once the bloody search and PDF uploader is done.
