Paypal Alternatives : Other Online Payment Services

When there is demand, there will be a supply… that’s what I believe. All is not lost, if for whatever reasons that you cannot use Paypal.

Here are some other paypal alternatives that you can use to accept online payment from your customers :

1. clickbank.com

This long standing marketplace has a online payment system in place that you can use. Yes, even for physical products. Now they even have the subscription payment option.
