Anybody used Paymill yet? Their docs all look fairly straightforward, and I'm strongly considering them for a project, but I'm interested in the experience of others.

#12I'm in talks with one of the others on that list because I need Amex support.. but in the UK PayPal also do a tier called "Website Payments Pro". It's not the same as a vanilla PayPal account and includes a merchant account and API for doing card transactions. You have to go through screening to be accepted and I've found them to be very professional and helpful (as in, a far better service than the vanilla PayPal se…
Who is using Amex? Corporates?

A lot of the big firms (in the UK at least) will use Corporate AMEX charge cards (rather than credit cards) for this purpose. If they can't pay on their Corporate AMEX they'll often have to go through a more drawn out process to get the payment made by some other method unless they want to make it on a personal card and then claim it back.

#14The only thing that does seem slightly annoying is all their support and accounts people are in Chicago, meaning the inevitable back-and-forth can drag on for way longer than it should for merchants based in Europe. Hopefully this is something they will get ironed out once they have some significant traction in the EU.

#15Interesting article. We are using Paymill and it's very easy to use (official extensions for Magento and other eCommerce systems). Our old payment provider was a pain to work with (uploading excel tables to process the payments...).

#16We recently switched to Braintree from PayPal Payments Pro. While we're not "small," (>£10million/year) the process was largely painless and I can't recommend them enough. We also needed to take AMEX cards and found setting that account up extremely easy (though we already had an AMEX account). The only thing that does seem slightly annoying is all their support and accounts people are in Chicago, meaning the inevita…

#17Thanks for this. As much as I'm loathe to use Paymill, it feels like a decent option from the few available until Stripe comes over here.

#18I can't wait for Stripe to get over here - fingers crossed this will happen soon. And from what I'm hearing, it may not be too far off. We've integrated with Recurly (with Sagepay as our gateway) for our recurring subscriptions at GoSquared, but the experience has been one I would hate to endure again. Thanks for sharing your experience James!
I'll soon be in the process of adding payment options to a new UK-based startup and really really really want to believe that Stripe will be an option for me in time.
