I am looking at replacing Paypal even though it is convenient for me, albeit expensive. Many people prefer not to use it but I don't know if those that don't like to use it would instead use another payment system. I only have a few choices which are:
Braintree
Stripe
2CheckOut
That is it. I know that changing will cause a problem with existing accounts and we may lose a lot of supporters as a result but I need to know the extent of the loss we have because we have Paypal. Gone are the days of sending a check which is cumbersome, requires all manual input and slow. I wish I could use Zelle which is used by most major banks but that is not an option with the Xenforo platform we use.
Basically I am just looking for some discussion at this point. I still have people, over 4 years later using the old system payment and not stopping it like I have been asking for the past 4 years through emails and posts. This has been the problem for us, those on the old PayPal system that I can't do anything about.
Therefore, once again, if you are paying the $35 or $60 fee, you are under the old system and when PayPal receives the money and uses the old connection link, it does not work, then after we get a few of those, PayPal faults our account and stops sending the updates to the forum, therefore, even those that are legit under the new system, don't get processed. This has been going on for over 4 years and my hands are tied. All of these faults that I keep clearing on PayPal then have to be manually input into the system in order to have those that did listen and update entered. If this sounds confusing, it is. Thoughts?
