Payment Platforms

JAZZJIM

I would appreciate the help of members.I am trying to evaluate Payment Platforms that I could use to purchase goods on the Internet.I heard of a company called Adyen do any of the members have any experience of this company and do I have other options with other payment platforms?[
I would appreciate any input from members before I make a decision.

Agreed, if you're purchasing good then you have no influence over the payment platform that a supplier has chosen, and there are many other more important factors to consider in selecting a supplier before you come to their payment platform.

You have a choice as you can decide not to purchase goods if the seller doesn't have a payment platform that you are willing to use.
We need to encourage additional platforms to widen choice for consumers.

I presume that the poster was referring to https://financesonline.com/top-20-payment-gateway-providers/, which was the top (unsponsored) result when I took a few seconds to type 'top 20 payment platforms' into Google.

There's obviously nothing stopping you from conducting in-depth research on the top 20 and the (many) others but, depending on what you want to buy I suppose, I'd humbly suggest that you're making a meal out of this! Are you seriously suggesting that you'd assemble a list of Jazzjim-approved payment processors and use this to filter potential future suppliers, or the marginally more sane approach of reviewing preferred options at the time of evaluating a purchase?

Do we? Really?

More choice is generally considered a good thing but do you have any evidence that there aren't enough players already in this particular space?

I appreciate you identifying the top 20 that gives me a 'heads up' to research the players.
But lay off the sarcasm it simply undermines your positive input and does nothing for your standing.
