Paybear does seem like a professional site. Their interface looks great to work with as well.

They are indeed relatively new. I have no idea how much you can trust them with at this stage. Haven't seen any negative reviews around though.

Coinpayments and Shapeshift are two of the largest and most trusted payment gateways. Though shapshift doesn't technically allow you to store funds with them, but only serves as a altcoin -> bitcoin converter. Coinpayments has a lot more flexibility and there's a range of things that you can do with them, including storing funds in their wallets. Bitpay on the other hand is more working with fiat type of site.

Up to you, do some research on your own part. But these are the main ones.

Looking for this kind of thread, dont know if paybear have an official post here on BTT.  Anyway, I have been researching about them and I had drawn interest on them because they have been recently retweeted by LTC and partnered with MakerDao.

Hi guys.. I want some advice in terms of which one to as a payment gateway. I’m mainly looking for cheap fees & easy installation. I’ve been chatting to paybear.io (on their telegram channel), they seem to be fairly new to the industry but also have really cheap fees... Anyone already using them?  Otherwise, what other providers are there that are worth checking out?
- Implementing your own payment seems too much of a hassle ? You can set-up basic wallet to send/receive bitcoins within a few minutes using 3rd party Api's.
 
BitPay I no longer use, their invoice system is just too tricky with a short payment window. Currently workable with low mempool but I wouldn't like to run into issues when transactions start to flood back in.
Last time I checked they didn't support SegWit transactions yet.They're horrible.Which payment processor runs a gateway and don't provide raw addresses to the sender ? IMHO it is wrong and a flaw in payment system.Introducing such system in  a network where public keys play an important role,hiding them is just not correct.No matter how lazy of a user-experience a system has to provide.

Coinpayments and shapeshift are best according to me. Coin payments project has been implemented last year but most trusted one for the many people in the forum. Even lauda was managkng their project.
Shapeshift is one of best payment widget on many sites and they powered some wallets jaxx and etc.
Hope they will give best service on payment API side too.

Shapeshift is convenient but they have pretty hefty spreads, so I only use that as a last resort. Coinpayments is what I'd recommend as a new-ish service that seems to be gaining reputation. As a user, I've used them without hitches, and as an escrow service, I'm pretty happy with how they've managed that for me on two occassions. They've also got a sig campaign here with a reputable manager, so I'd say that's another vote of confidence.

BitPay I no longer use, their invoice system is just too tricky with a short payment window. Currently workable with low mempool but I wouldn't like to run into issues when transactions start to flood back in.

Here's a creative alternative, which I've used: using a casino account with inbuilt exchange supporting multiple cryptos. It does require you to trust the service of course, and probably a roundabout way of being able to switch between crypto to pay someone in an alt but I've done so happily with crypto-games.net. Much lower spread (about 2%) on instant exchange.

Coinpayment is really good, im not using as seller but i use it as customer. They're support a lot altcoin and so far i never get problem so maybe this is worth it.
Another site that i recommend you to take a look is GoUrl, my friend use this for his website. So try to check it.

Coingate has been already used on many mining related payment as a payment gateway. Coin payments also good one but i do not recommend for the big ecommerce site.
When you are looking fee should be cheap. You should should with the coingate. Apart from coingate bitpay has the decent rapprt as act on multiple website's check out page.

Here are a few ones that I know:

Coinpayments to accept over 135 cryptocurrencies for a 0.50% fee.
BTCPayServer is a fork of Bitpay, but only accepts Bitcoin.
ShapeShift to accept any coin that ShapeShift already does and immediately exchange for BTC.
