What methods of payment processing are there?

There are a lot of credit card processing

methods available, for instance, accepting payments through a

payment processing service like PayPal, Stripe or Skrill or

accepting payments directly (integration with a payment gateway).

The choice usually depends on the merchant processing volume and

the functionality they need. The first option is suitable for

micro- and midsize businesses while the second one is preferable

for those who process large amount of transactions and have some

specific functionality which is not supported by a payment

service.
