This comes without the bogus $30/mo Pro membership fee PayPal charges for checkout on your site. I have limited experience with both, but sounds like a score for Amazon to me.
Interesting development. The fees look to be identical to PayPal and Checkout, but calculated on a three month average. There seems to still be room for another competitor here, given the problems with both PayPal and Checkout.
Is this flash based or is it an iframe?
How are they mitigating the risk of malicious sites that steal a users credentials as they are entered into an observable DOM hierarchy?
Edit: Looks like authentication is entered into a pop-up window, but still I'm not convinced that it's secure.
somebody's gonna get SUPER RICH implementing a "copy and paste" javascript snippet that allows you to accept payment from paypal, amazon, moneybookers, credit cards, SMS, and whatever else is fashionable in the local region.
You wouldn't know what transactions occurred, and 1% of a company's revenue is not a reasonable payment for doing nothing but saving time copying-and-pasting implementation scripts from the individual payment sites.
If you meant that this site should somehow provide a payment button for all those providers without even opening an account with them, that's not a problem you can solve with technology. Know-your-customer banking laws and factoring clauses in merchant agreements mean you can never create that service.
