My customers are private individuals that have no clue what bitcoin is ,I want to present the payment option in as simple a form as possible .
So I do not want to scare them off .

BIPS works well. I found it to be a pretty well engineered payment gateway and their support fairly responsive...recommended.

I always hesitate to promote BIPS in a Bitpay thread, but you seem to look for other possibilities, and it would be lovely if I could manage to provide you with the needed solution.

BIPS is all of Europe with support for 160+ currencies.

I signed up to have a look at their solution, but didnt work for my requirements.  You have to add all your products etc.

Coinbase seem to have a similar service, but better site.

Blockchain.info has a good api to take payments.  I used them instead.

I looked at coinbase but it is USA only .

Will see if blockchain is any use thank you .

Any other payment services that uk tradesmen can use with escrow available ?

Use the blockchain.info api, bitpay are useless and their exchange rate gets pulled out of their rear, always 10% than bitstamp, this really pisses me off on sites that use bitpay such as gyft

i mean seriously who uses mtgox rate anymore that they become useless?

i told them to close my merchant account with them,i dont see why should pay even 1% for a bad service

Hello ,
I'am a Uk contractor and wanted to set up a simple bitcoin payment option .

My issues

Filled application got e-mail to confirm ,The "CONFIRM" button does not work .

The "CONTACT" button does not work .

The "support" button does not work .

If I struggle to contact them during the application process I'am never likely to get the account up and running .

I thought this could be a useful tool for me but like most things bitcoin wise when I attempt to apply to real life it becomes impossible to do .

How did they get 1000 merchants with the current difficulties ?

Anyone successfully using the service have any help or opinions ?
