A PayPal-less country like the Philippines with a mostly-traditional banking industry could use one of these babies: a list of payment gateways for ecommerce without merchant accounts.
Add Google’s GBuy to that list soon. Oh, and if you don’t mind some hefty paperwork in exchange for strong Philippine support, check out YES Payments.

Also suggest Xoom.com’s merchant services which deposits directly into your bank account and accepts all major CCs, even PayPal.
We recently launched a service called AnnexStore to try and introduce e-commerce in the Philippines. So far, we’ve had lukewarm interest. Our target market are the Philippine Exporters. As of the moment, they’ve been just tried out our basic Catalog setup – without payment gateway and delivery modules. They tend to prefer a simple inquiry system – where all orders are emailed to the owners. We’ve one client who has gone full e-commerce and it would be interesting how they would fare. They are an MLM company and if they do take off, then that would be a good sign for the Philippines.
One of the projects that we’re looking forward to is the introduction of a Cash On Delivery (COD) system. Although it’s still in talks, this system looks promising for Filipinos.
I would go with a direct processing company because they do the processing for the banks. Which in turn can pass on savings for you. Instead of the banks getting a percentage on your sales also or charging you for equipment ect. Take your time and shop around.
When I did, I found Simple Payment Systems, they give you credit card acceptance software free for your web site.And also give you the credit card terminals for free.I think Simple Payment Systems is truly the absolute best for credit card and electronic check processing. (The electronic check processes the check like a credit card.) So the check is deposited into your account ASAP from your business. If it is bad you know right away. I have done my research for a long time. They give you free equipment, free training, free software- with a check out cart! (if you have a web site also that you want to sell tires on.) They beat discount rate quotes that you give them too. They have 24 hour live help, which is handy. Make sure you tell them you want the free program. Why purchase or lease equipment if you don’t have to? We switched from another company over to them. And have never been happier. Go to their web site and call them or fill out the form and they can contact you. I did countless hours of research! Trust me they are the BEST in my opinion.
