PayPal Alternatives: 5 Solutions For Bloggers & Affiliate Marketers

PayPal-Alternatives

I’ve been using PayPal for more than four years. I can firmly say that it is the easiest way of sending and receiving money online.

But I can’t use PayPal the way I want it. I am from Bangladesh where PayPal is not available. I have to use my sister’s PayPal account who lives in the USA.

Using others PayPal account is not a problem when you are doing few transactions. But as the transactions increase, it creates some problems like tax issues, limitations, etc.

The great news is, there are some alternatives to PayPal.

If you are a blogger, an affiliate marketer, or a freelancer from one of the PayPal unsupported countries, you are in the right place. Here I’ll be sharing a list of best PayPal alternatives for 2019.

PayPal Alternatives

  1. Payoneer (Best For Bloggers & Affiliate Marketers)
  2. Skrill (Best For Users Based Transactions)
  3. 2Checkout (Best For Accepting Payments Globally)
  4. Selz (Best For Products Owners & Services Providers)
  5. Payza (Best For Local Payments)

1. Payoneer

Payoneer

Payoneer is the best PayPal alternative for freelancers, bloggers, and affiliate marketers. It makes the international money transfer insanely easy.

It provides a Payoneer Card which can be used to make international payments and withdraw money from local ATM booths. It also offers a Virtual US Bank account to receive global payments. You can also withdraw your money from your local banks through Payoneer.

      I don’t have any first hand experience of using 2Checkout. But as per as I know, it’s a good company. BTW, what kind of product/service are you selling now?

    Hey Istiak, I have been using Paypal and Payoneer both into my list but glad to know that you listed some payment solutions here.

    Payoneer is good in terms of fees and they charge less fees as compared to Paypal. Paypal charges huge fees but it is highly favored by lot of companies.

    Whenever I get chance I always ask clients for Payoneer to save some bucks here.

      Same here. Most of my affiliates pay through PayPal. But I use Payoneer whenever possible.

    Hello, Istiak, I’d suggest including Cardinity as another alternative. I’ve found it after a thorough research while looking for the best PayPal alternatives and its fees seemed like the friendliest in the market so far: https://cardinity.com/pricing. It would be great to know your opinion about it, in comparison with others. Thanks!

    Hi dear brother,
    Actually, the alternative of PayPal depends on the affiliate sites. If a network supports PayPal and Payoneer both, and if I’d have the only Payoneer then Payoneer is the alternative of PayPal to me! Isn’t it? However thanks for your recommendation.

      It is. When it comes to getting affiliate payments, Payoneer is the best solution.

    Hi Rayhan, PayPal has simply no alternatives since a lot of affiliate sites pay using PayPal. But still we are lucky to have these alternatives like Payoneer and 2CheckOut. Learned about Selz from this post, thanks for sharing.

      You can get affiliate payments via Payoneer. It is supported by most of the big affiliate networks. I’ve already written a post on Payoneer supported affiliate networks.

      However, good luck with your new blog.
