Paypal is not open to all international customer(it is the major disadvantage of papal). you have three account possibility with paypal: Personal, Premier and Business. Premier account is preferable; you will be able to receive any type of payments, credits cards...) If you decide to open an account with them, you will be able to receive payments within minutes.

A second option is Stormpay. It is a good payment processor( there is actually some different with autosurf sites, but customers who are not involved in theses programs don' t have any restrictions in using their accounts. It is a good alternative to paypal, because they do not have any restrictions concerning the country of application for the account. It is available worldwide. The fonctionement of Stormpay is similar to paypal, and for the beginner, the newbie, he can start after going through the tutorial.

Now, the paid payment processors. 2 payment processors must retain your attention when you start:ClickBank and 2checkout. Before opening your account with click bank, you will have to submit a product approval request. You will be able after your acceptation, to accept payment by credit card, paypal balance, e checks. Also, you will have the benefit of being listed in the ClickBank marketplace, that will allow you to run your own affiliate program. Note that I recommend that you host your own affiliate Programs. You will have to pay $49.95 to open your account.

The second payment processor is 2checkout. I highly recommend that you register with 2checkout as your payment processor. It is a fast and reliable payment processor. You just have to pay a one time payment fee of $49.95(no monthly fees). And you will be able to receive all kind of payment for your online business. You will then accept payment by credit cards, debit and checks, from any part of the world.

You will be able also to set an automatic rebilling of your customer' s monthly fee, with 2checkout, paypal and stormpay.

You must know that if you don' t provide to your customers a way to pay you from any part of the world, that will result for you in a lost of sales, and residual customers over time. The best payment processor available right now is 2checkout, because it enable you to receive all kind of payment available worldwide.
