    Hello. I have a client who is starting a site that will require membership management. As such, I am a new aMember customer and am just setting up the configuration.

    I need some help choosing a compatible payment system. Here are my requirements (unless nothing meets all of them - then I'm going to have to compromise! <grin>):

    1. I'm in the USA, so I assume I need a payment system in the USA
    2. I'm concerned about PCI compliance, so I would prefer that credit card info be stored in the payment system rather than in the aMember database
    3. I want to be able to offer recurring payments
    4. I want the payment system to be able to handle coupons

    If I read the supported payment systems chart correctly, that reduces the possibilities to:

    - EGSPay
    - PayPal
    - YowCow

    I would prefer to avoid EGSPay because it appears they specialize in adult sites. That simply won't be acceptable to my client.

    I would prefer to avoid PayPal, at least as a sole option (if a payment system has PayPal integration plus other options, that's fine).

    YowCow's website appears to no longer exist.

    Am I right that with those parameters, I would have no choice at all. Or am I missing something?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer - I really appreciate it.

    Reasons?

    It sounds to me as if paypal would be your best option.

    You could also try worldpay.
