My friend, who supplies me with my broadband, uses a
company called
KashFlow (
www.kashflow.co.uk) to generate my invoices and handle
payments. It allows me to set up a standing order to him, which is
nice and convenient. Not sure how much it costs, but it's cheap (and
free for small numbers of customers). My friend hasn't had any
problems that I'm aware of.
KashFlow is an online accounting package, not a payment service
gateway. While it's possible to integrate with ProtX and the like
through KashFlow, you still have the hassle of choosing a provider,
and obtaining a merchant account. It also does PayPal integration, but
given Andy wants to shift away from PayPal, that's not very useful.
Incidentally, if anyone is looking for a quick and easy accounting
package for small businesses, KashFlow is *excellent*. Oh, and if you
find someone that's a referrer, you get a couple of quid a month off
the monthly fee for the life of your subscription... *cough* ;)
(No affiliation other than I'm a customer of theirs)
