Hello,

 

Anybody accepts payments on his websites by using a Thai company for payment gateway ?

 

Paysbuy ? Paysolution (thaiepay), any other maybe ?

 

Thank you for your feedbacks.

Paypal is widely used.

From the snarky comment I've removed we assume that PayPal isn't an option.

 

I've used Paysbuy for mobile phone top-ups for quite a while without problems. DTAC has the majority stake in it.

Paysbuy's always been a reliable service, though sometimes they have trouble accepting European cards.

 

Omise is a more recent one which is really promising, much more modern looking, but I don't have any experience using them

Thank you, but do you use Paysbuy on your websites ?

 

And yes, paypal is not the question, everybody knows Paypal and nobody needs help or information about it, especially not from local Thai visa guys.

 

 

It is important to understand that our OP is asking about MERCHANT accounts, as a seller.

I used Thaiepay years ago, all worked fine.  

 

There is also Asiapay.

None of the banks offer

online merchant accounts?

I've set it up for clients in the past, fairly straightforward

Very difficult to get, even for officially registered company.

Depending on your business - particularly the amounts you are likely receiving and your  type ofcustomer base, it might also be worth looking into how to receive payments by Promptpay.

 

Individuals are starting to educate themselves about how they use promptpay to make payments. Of course the flip side of this is that merchants/ companies also register to receive payments via promptpay.

 

Payment can be made using mobile phones, internet banking or ATMs to registered merchants/ companies or individuals. If you specifically  wanted to take an order over a website then presumably as one step in your online order process you would get them to pay  via promptpay and then enter a promptpay reference number to confirm that a payment really has been made before they proceed to complete the transaction. (Customers paying by promptpay phone usually get an SMS, and via internet banking a ref number)

 

Probably most suitable for SMEs and small value payments, but a channel worth considering, and as mentioned would depend on your business, model, customers etc, which you haven't really specified.

Why did you quit ?

 

I used Thaiepay for a few years to receive online payments for bookings at my hotel.  I stopped using them when other integrated alternatives came along and when I got a C/C machine at the hotel.  But I was happy with the Thaiepay service....

no, not if you have actual revenue (+1,000,000Baht/mo) Its very easy if you are VAT registered.

 

Omise. Thank me later

But how can your customer pay online without credit card gateway ?

Most Thai aren't registered and do not wish to do.

Yes, you need to be VAT registered etc and have a certain volume of revenue to achieve low rates.

hello, do you know Omise ? Please help

High commission, a lot higher than paypal.
