Ok guys im just a little curious.

What way do the majority of your customers pay?


For some reason most of mine chose to pay via Paypal.

Also paypal for me.
I would say about 30% pay via credit card through 2CO but most still use paypal but I really dont mind.
I use paypal to pay for a lot online, when I cant I just use debit card.

Paypal is a lot less hassle to be honest, can use it online and put it into my bank in the same time a cheque takes to clear so its all good

3/4 credit card - merchant account
1/4 paypal
1/32 2checkout

I perfer the merchant better, paypal is ok but not very fond of them.

I offer

Merchant Account
Paypal

But about 90% of my customers use paypal.

I pay all of my hosting related bills/costs with paypal but my servers as the datacenter doesnt accept paypal, so i have to transfer the money to my bank account to just a debit card.

I mean, how do they profit, do they take a percent out of every transaction, or do you have to pay every month or what?

Yes, they take a percent out of every transaction that comes through their account.

I would say paypal makes quite a lot of money...
They get a good profit from each transaction AND they would be getting a good amount of interest.
Not sure how it works for them getting interest but Im sure they would make enough from either one to run their business as it is already

We've got about a 70/30 split between 2co and Paypal with 99% on auto reoccuring which makes billing nice and easy

paypal takes 2.9% out and then charges a 30 cents transaction fee. then 2.9% to exchange it into canadian and 50 cents to put it in a canadian bank...
