If you need target Germany or Nordic countries, checkout Klarna https://klarna.com/en/business They have ok APIs, although they are e-commerce focused. They also just got a whopping 155 million dollar investment from DST and earlier investment round is from Sequoia. I'd expect them to open up in new countries soon. http://www.arcticstartup.com/2011/12/09/klarna-receives-155-...

155 million dollar investment

Hopefully they'll be able to afford a webdesigner.

Their site would neither tell me if they're available in my country nor could I find any pricing information whatsoever. Instead I was left with motion sickness due to all the flickering and bouncing...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are there actually any modern payment gateways available worldwide that don't suck? I've tried Paypal and Ogone and they both are a serious hassle. How i would loooove stripe or wepay to become available worldwide!

I don't think there are any. In what way was Ogone a serious hassle? Was it difficult to get to the point where you could accept payments? Payments that didn't get processed correctly? Downtime?

Ogone works when you get over the draconic configuration and contact setup with banking instances. From a technical point it works good but please don't get me started on the user experience, that's just one big fail from start to end.
