    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.
