Which online payment provider is the best?

No sales without cash register. The facilitation of payment is essential for a web store, fortunately we have a large number of professional parties in the Netherlands that can provide you with this. Vicus has experience with several parties and will gladly advise you! Vicus has the most experience with implementing MultiSafepay, Buckaroo, Ingenico (formerly Ogone), Docdata and Sisow. A nice list of which some certainly compete with each other. So we can imagine that for many entrepreneurs it is difficult to see the difference between one provider of iDEAL and credit card payments and another. Of course there are strict regulations regarding internet payments, so almost all providers will offer you a safe payment environment, third party account and other securities. Nevertheless, there are differences which we are happy to inform you about.

For example, Vicus likes to work with the payment provider Buckaroo. This player from Utrecht is close to us and we have known it since 2005. Fairly quickly Buckaroo knew a wide range of payment options so that this party has the right offer for almost every customer. Together with Buckaroo we were sometimes able to solve things that Vicus missed, even at an architectural level, which means that we are now well attuned to one another.

The latter certainly applies to Multisafepay, which has proven itself, especially in terms of flexibility. For example, we have sometimes seen a very popular link suddenly become less popular after a few years. What you sometimes see is that other payment providers prefer to support only the emerging market. That's where all the manpower goes, because that's the future. MultiSafepay naturally invests in the software of the future, but does not let its existing customers down. If they have taken you on as a customer, they will take your support seriously and our experience is that they will continue to do so, even if your system does not turn out to be the most popular package (anymore).

The two previously mentioned are mostly known in the middle of the market. An example from the upper end of the market is DocData. The company has its roots, like Vicus, in security. A payment should not only be fast and cheap but above all secure. And at DocData, we feel that your Internet payments are in good hands. In addition, it is a player that has earned its stripes on the European market and therefore offers a wide range of possibilities, even if you have ambitions beyond our borders.

If you also focus on foreign countries, Ingenico (formerly Ogone) is certainly a player that we gladly offer. Especially for the Belgian market, but also far beyond, Ingenico has managed to build a fine name. In the Netherlands the player is still known under its old name Ogone. More than 50,000 companies in over 70 countries manage and secure their online and mobile payments with Ingenico, making it a player with local expertise and global capabilities. Definitely a consideration for the really ambitious guys!

Would you rather start smaller? Sisow from Helmond is a party that is actually not much inferior to the aforementioned players, but with us, partly due to a somewhat friendlier rate and low requirements in terms of volumes, is mainly used by players who are looking for a flexible entry. Are you growing fast? Credit card and Belgian payment solutions are also part of this player's offering, so despite them being our advice for the entry-level player, you can certainly go with them for a while.

Do you have a different preference yourself? No problem! As mentioned before, the market offers a wide range of possibilities and undoubtedly we can also connect the payment provider of your choice to your web store.
