• Cost of the payment solution provider. Each payment solution provider has different rates which includes transaction fee, set up costs, yearly maintenance etc.
• Support and service of the payment gateway is another critical factor that should be considered. This includes, ease of with customer can place an order, online refund facility, email and phone support, query resolution time etc
• Time interval to credit the money into your bank account. This should be noted as longer time periods in crediting the money may lead to liquidity crisis.
• Availability of integration codes, plugins and extension should be checked. If you are using poplar ecommerce frameworks like Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, OpenCart etc. You should check if they have a bug free plugin to be used for integration. This will reduce the integration cost in oppose to creating a custom integration.
