For a one off, Paypal looks favourite, and take the hit. I've beeb looking to see if you can send money to a bank account from a credit card, but it's baffling. Even if they could, I think it gets treated as a cash withdrawal, so incurs higher fees.

I wanted something that would integrate with WP properly.
There are a few Stripe plugins for Wordpress. e.g. WP Simple Pay

But if you take a credit card payment (see post #9), it's a purchase on their card (not cash), and it's in your bank in 7 days.

I have started using PayPal for all my payments now, but would never suggest the 'friends and family' bit.
Yeah, the fees are high, but for me it is the ease of use, incorporating with DJI means people can pay anytime, and it makes accounting a lot easier. My accountant also reccomended PayPal because he says the assistance you get is far superior to most merchant accounts etc, plus everyone has heard of PayPal so I think it is trusted more than other unknown names out there.

Any form of card (debit or credit card) requires "processing", and that's where the fees come in.
Don't forget, that credit card companies take on extra liability, so charges are higher.
Yes, there's a small fee associated with credit/debit card transactions, but remember, a credit card payment means someone can pay you who doesn't have the funds available in their bank account. I'd much rather offer this and enable them to book me (and me take a small hit on fees) then them not be able to book me and go with someone who does offer credit card payments.
Don't forget we're only a matter of months away from "credit card fees" being charged to consumers being banned, and the publicity for this will increase, so best to not do that any more.
And for PayPal, it's against their terms of service to charge the end client the fees PayPal charge you.

Just be careful if you use paypal of a chargeback.
If they decide they didnt like something they could get paypal to retrieve their payment.
I had trouble with some equipment I bought via paypal and I got my money back in a few days.

That can happen with any credit card payment

Yeah, and PayPal resolution methods (apparently) are better than other merchant accounts, especially for businesses.

I'm not sure I understand the point of removing the ability to charge the customer more for something that costs more. Maybe as it's an EU thing when brexit is sorted that rule will be no longer.
PayPal has a rule that says you cannot charge the customer fees already, which I've always thought is very odd.
Maybe I'll start charging a booking administration fee which is discounted when you pay BT.
