We chose Balanced to support our marketplace at Art.sy for a few reasons:
1. They were highly recommended by other start-ups who had completed the integration.
2. Their focus on marketplaces aligned nicely with our needs (the escrow account they manage on our behalf, the account/identity validation they perform for our merchants, etc.).
3. They provided all the tools we wanted and none (or few) that we didn't: especially a javascript plug-in for seamless payment processing (without unnecessarily triggering PCI compliance), a self-service site for merchant registration, and their robust API in general.
Also, it's worth mentioning that the development support I've received since choosing Balanced has been generous and prompt.
I think it's worth shouting out that I'm really impressed by the help system over at Balanced. Being able to see the IRC logs at the top and knowing that I can just jump in at anytime and talk to either the devs or a good support team, really gives me confidence in their product. I wish anyone with an API learns from this and adds support like that.
