Google checkout, 2Checkout, Paypal, Authorise.net ?? For Virtuemart on Joomla

    Hi,

    I'm using Virtuemart with Joomla and I have a hard time choosing which payment gateway to use, I don't want to use them all since it's too much messing around.

    1. Google checkout - I only found a commercial plugin for £30 (but I have two shops so it'll be £60 for me and that's a lot just for a plugin in my opinion.

    2. Paypal - the easiest one but takes a lot of %, once when the money come into the account and then again when it's withdrawn...

    3. 2Checkout - I don't know anything about this one to be honest, any experts?

    4. Authorise.net - this one is included in Virtuemart by default, but I didn't register yet, any experts in this payment gateway? Does it work on-site or off-site like Paypal ?

    Any help appreciated guys, I can't use SSL on my virtuemart so I chose to use some external gateways...

    Thanks in advance.

    Actually before Google Checkout appear in the amrket..there are not many choices which can actualy compared to PayPal & 2Checkout...tat's y they exists so long & growing stronger everyday...

    But since you can't find the FREE Google Checkout module for Virtuemat..no choice have to switch to PayPal or 2Checkout..

    We went with manual credit card processing, Paypal and Google Checkout, no one uses Google Checkout tho, most people used the normal credit card processor, few used Paypal.

    Paypal and 2Checkout are pretty easy with Virtuemart.
