Ask HN: Payment Gateway for Web Application (2checkout or Alertpay)

1 points by raydookie ↗ HN
Guys,

I'm in the final stages of building out a web application I've been working on. Now it's just down to implementing the payment system.

Being based in Trinidad and Tobago (in the Caribbean) and from the research I've done, 2checkout.com and Alertpay.com seems like to only 2 viable options.

I know some of you have used both of these systems in your apps. Can anyone give me any feedback as to which one I should go with? Any good/bad experiences I should know about?

For those of you who made purchases with either of these, what was your experiences with the checkout process?

If you know of another alternative I can use feel free to let me know. Google Checkout, Paypal etc are out of the question since they don't allow withdrawals to Trinidad.

Thanks.

I used to work in the building next to the 2checkout guys and I've attended a couple of Perl user groups at their offices. I also know a few people whom work there and they are all good guys.

In short I'm biased - but I will tell you that over at 2checkout their customer support is very nice, and they are all very helpful.
