When a new customer comes on board with Flower Store In a Box we generally recommend that you signup with both Stripe and PayPal.
This allows you to have all the payment options on your website:
- AMEX, VISA, MASTERCARD
- Apple Pay
- Google Wallet
- Paypal
What are people using on their websites

What this shows us is that more people are using the alternative payment methods. So far Apple Pay and Google Wallet are still small in usage but PayPal has had a huge increase in popularity.

- PayPal
- Stripe – for Apple Pay / Google Wallet if you don’t use eway or one of the major banks
