I run a small business which (among other things) offers vouchers for our activities. I'm looking for a simple option to put payment links on our website to allow people to buy online. Volumes are low (maybe 30 to 40 sales per year) so it doesn't warrant too much effort in terms of setup or anything involving anything more than a notional monthly fee.

Any suggestions? PayPal is the obvious choice (we have used it before) but the world has moved on since I last did this.

Thanks for any ideas.

Another vote for Stripe. Works great, and I think well-trusted. I've been using it for years without issue.

I use stripe but the fees are quite salty and at the start they don’t clear withdraws for quite a while.

I haven’t had any issues with the mechanics but they take a chunk in arrangement fees.

If your website is Wordpress based. It’s very easy to set up Stripe and PayPal. Stripe installation now includes Klarna basically out of the box.
If it’s a HTML , PHP etc website it’s quite straight forward to add Stripe payment links or use the Stripe Developer Kit for a more complex payment gateways.

For your low volume id just go PayPal. People like it, and don't need PayPal accounts to pay by card. Their commission is a little high but for low volume it matters less.

Try Calendly, a bit unconventional but it’ll work and thinking out the box is my speciality :-)

Redarress (posted above) sorted out our web site for taking card payments online, using Stripe. Works very well from my point of view. Hassle free. Redarress is very helpful - contact him is my recommendation.
