Until we find another viable small payments clearing house like Paypal, the Shop is unable to take payments :(

Clearly, this buggers our long term future as well.

If there was an OOF snail mail address we could send that old fashioned currency called "cash money"  ;)

The Classic Car Club that I am a member of have used Paypal for payments for services / purchases etc from Members, but due to the fees charged, recently looked into using Opayo as an alternative. I don't know about the pros and cons of Opayo relative to the use that the OOF would make of it,  or indeed whether my Club actually made the change, but maybe it is something to possibly consider...?

One of my Bro's uses its forerunner in his business, and I seem to recall the terms were unsuitable for our needs, but will look again in case its changed :y

Couldnt you just have an OOF shop bank account which people can transfer money into to pay for purchases ?  :-\

To assist the chap wanting a DVD in a hurry, that was offered.

However, as a general thing, it means manually trying to tie bank xfers to "purchases", which is going to be error prone at times when we sell more than 1 item during the day or 2 the process takes.


The Sagepay option above isn't going to fly due to no supported plugin, and the monthly standing charge is unaffordable for us.

Is there any update on this? I'm pretty new here, but I'd hate to see the club struggle due to lack of funds.

If it helps my day job is web development, so I've got a fair bit of knowledge and experience in this area. I see that Zen Cart has a Stripe plugin, is that an option that's already been considered?

Always interested to see what's about, I can look at Stripe (on face of it, it looks like 1.5% + 20p or 1.9% + 20p for business Visa/Mastercard), which isn't too bad, but potential to get hit with high charges for certain things out of our control.

Also, a quick squint at it, we store/handle the card payment, which is an absolute red line for us, due to the extra hoops we'd need to jump through.

As for resolution with Paypal, thats never going to happen.  They will not tell us what the issue was that caused them to close our account.

Stripe definitely offers hosted payment pages, so you wouldn't have to worry about PCI compliance. I've built apps with it before where all you ever see on your end is a token that relates to the card data Stripe stores on their end, the card data never hits your servers. Don't know if the Zen Cart plugin supports that payment flow though
