They have passed my website so am now officially PCI complaint ,just sorting out the module for my website ...Although costing an arm and a leg ...Still can't believe how far my little website has come over the years ..... I suppose the next and last step would be to become VAT registered

Well after a long period and a small fortune I have finally got my website card system working and running as it should..Hopefully it should now make my website look a bit more professional ..Also displaying my PCI compliance proudly...Not to sure about the layaway payment.What do you guys think ,is it worth while keeping

Nice one, looks the part. I'm in the middle of investigating it for MLS as world pay replacement/alternative. (fed up with World pay!)

Layaway payments is really for high value products, so it's down to you if you need the hassle of waiting for staged payments. If it was me I'd switch it off, but our product prices don't warrant it.

Yeah I know , I do have high value products although it has never been used ...Payments wont be an issue as this new option gives me the option for monthly payments so it could work out well..

Only time will tell ... Just found out the PCI compliance was for scanning my site and they have removed it from me as I don't need scanning , it may be down to the fact that no card details are actually stored on my site

Since installing my new payment process where the customers pays on site ,rather than leaving is paying dividends now and my abandon cart rate has fallen dramatically.So looks like a good investment after all ,although still have a way to go to recoup the £300 odd it cost to fix and install for UK

Currently looking at it. We are questioning the charges, and our developer is seeing how viable it is to move over, but should have a better idea if it's a goer in the next couple of weeks.

I'm with Braintree ,no monthly charges.. I'm pretty sure it is a sister company to PayPal as rates are pretty similar + you get free verification ..Overall experience was actually OK..

I am so looking forward to Christmas this year as last year the abandon rate was high ..

Good luck with yours ,hope all goes well with it

It's only free transactions up to £30k, then after that it's 1.9% + £0.20 per transaction. Braintree is owned by Paypal who bought it in 2013.
