I'm looking for a Stripe alternative that works in Estonia. I want a simple credit card transactor with some few features. Here is a comparison of my findings.
Went through a huge list and ended up with this Top 3.
After doing the research I tried the 2Checkout sandbox and it proved too complicated. Braintree however has more clear API docs and better NPM modules - integrating was moderately easy.
