Payment Gateways (for online stores like WooCommerce, Shopify, etc.)
-
PayPal – widely used, easy to set up, trusted globally.
-
Stripe – flexible, supports subscriptions, good developer tools, works well with Woo.
-
Square (Block, Inc.) – strong for in-person + online sync, inventory management included.
-
Authorize.Net – older but still reliable, often used by established businesses.
-
Braintree (by PayPal) – advanced option, supports global and recurring billing.
🔹 Digital Wallets & Mobile Pay
-
Venmo (U.S. only, PayPal-owned) – casual, social payments, now usable for business.
-
Cash App – peer-to-peer payments, expanding into small business use.
-
Google Pay (GPay) – integrates with Android, online & NFC tap-to-pay.
-
Apple Pay – great for iPhone/iPad users, works well with online stores.
-
Samsung Pay – Android users, works with NFC/contactless terminals.
🔹 Bank & ACH Transfers
-
Direct Bank Transfer (ACH in U.S.) – slower but low fees, good for big payments.
-
Wire Transfer – faster for international, higher fees.
🔹 Alternative / Newer Systems
-
Zelle – instant bank-to-bank (U.S. only), not ideal for online stores.
-
Klarna / Afterpay / Affirm – “buy now, pay later” options, boosts sales.
-
Crypto payments (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) – niche, but some merchants like the low fees & global reach.
