Just when you think they are actually competing payment gateways, now WorldPay has integrated Paypal as one of the payment options in their standard payment gateway services.
2Checkout, one of the payment gateways that works for local merchant selling internationally, has been supporting paypal since 2007.
Interestingly, Paypal appear more and more “Visa” and “Mastercard” like. If their growth continue at such a fast-pace rate, especially in the International Markets, soon the below icon will become a standard at most of website that takes online payment. (i predict in 5 years time).
The apparent different is, with Paypal, you don’t actually need a card.
Don’t be surprised if you find Paypal in Malaysia Payment Gateways (Eg iPay88 & nbepay ) soon in not too distanced future (we hope).
E-commerce would not be complete without FULFILLMENT - The most important process which get the merchandise Picked, Packed, and Shipped to the hands of your customers. If your customers is getting their orders shipped to them both “in time and in good condition” (manage expectation!), voila! You probably have just sealed a lifetime customer.

Now you understand how important fulfillment is. No online merchants can afford to screw up, or letting your shipping company screw up. and that’s why it’s important to pick your shipping partner right from the start. When it comes to the world of shipping, there’s also the very famous Big 3, namely UPS, Fedex and DHL. Among them, UPS is the indisputable big brother (more than 100 years old) among them all. UPS is so big that, if today UPS decide to quit delivery services and join the airlines business competing with AirAsia in the “business of shipping people”, they will be the 3rd largest airline in the world.
Just imagine all these planes turned into passengers plane…
An UPS truck delivery driver makes sure the packages in his truck are organized (we wonder, do they check on parcel bomb too?)
Sleeping with the enemy, You gotta be kidding me!
Study the competition, let the figure blows you away!
