We have been running a questionnaire on our new Hika Shop driven web site. All good comments except the payment option. People want to pay by card. Unfortunately the options for this seem to be limited or unworkable.

Is the option to pay by credit card only available via Paypal and Moneybookers.
We have a Visa Merchant Account at our retail store . If I get an SSL can I use this.
Is there an option to do this in Commercial versions of Hika Shop?

Moneybookers has some seriously bad press www.reviewcentre.com/review797716.html

They do not reply to email questions and I learned from my bank that all payments using a swift code will be charged a $NZ15.00 fee. This makes Moneybookers a seriuosly expensive option when you add their not inconsiderable fees. Also they state that after a certain value of transactions is reached you must become verified. They will not state the cost.

All in all I am not feeling confident to use Moneybookers.

It doesn't seem that you can use VISA merchant accounts to receive online payments.

Moneybookers indeed has some bad press. Did you look into AlertPay or CardSave ? HikaShop also has payment plugins for them and they also support payments for NZ so that might be valid options for you too...
The CardSave payment integration and pretty complete and allow you to handle payments directly on your website with an SSL certificate.
