#2Anybody 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.

#3Interesting 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...).

Yep, we are using it and never had a problem so far. I encountered one bug in the Magento Extension but they fixed it in a few days.

#5Thanks 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.

#6I'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 service). Only downside so far for me? No Amex.

We applied and simply got a rejection email with little to no explanation of why we got rejected which is disappointing. I'm going to try and open up communications with them again to see if we can reapply now that we are fully trading (unfortunately through paypal)
The evaluation of new applications in order to accept credit card payments is subject
to strict compliance rules and risk regulations in Germany. Our current acquiring
bank has declined your contract for some reasons with regard to their risk and compliance
management guidelines. We do not receive any detailed reasons from the bank.
This is why we cannot give you a better explanation. Unfortunately,
Paymill does not have an influence on that decision.Re: Taking payments online in Europe in 2013

Who is using Amex? Corporates?

#9I 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've been using it since September with zero problems so far. They answer their phones, which is more than I can say about anyone else in this space. I wrote a python wrapper for their API as well. Everything's been smooth. If you have any issues with them, call them, and in my experience things get fixed instantly.
