At Geek-Solutions, we’ve worked with a range of payment gateways. All of them have their own specific APIs with such peculiarities as unclearly described features and multiple implicit errors. These factors complicate integration and impose additional responsibility on a developer.

An ideal payment system features:

1
High security
The payment data must be stored secure to eliminate the chance of its leakage. A PCI-DSS Compliance looks reliable enough in this case.
2
Fast Processing
The processing time may last up to several days. The shorter processing, the more satisfied your users are.
3
Low Fees
The lowest possible fees are essential in a case of cutthroat competition and low margins.
4
Full Documented
With poor documentation, an integration process may be extremely long and unpredictable.
5
Friendly Support
Sometimes support is a last chance to do things proper. And if it works poorly, you'll probably lose this chance.
6
Fewer Bugs
Payment systems filled with bugs are highly likely causing troubles during their integration and further usage.
7
Lower Chargebacks
Do not allow chargebacks to become a common thing! Every single chargeback is a loss for your business.
8
Mobile Friendly
As you can see, mobile payments become one of the main way users pay for goods and services everywhere in the world.
9
Popular Among The Audience
The audience of your goods or services ought to be common with the payment system you want to integrate.
10
Quality
Testing on real money is not a good idea and may be too expensive.
11
Support
The payment system must stay functional once the software tools you use are updated.
