to get a decent design.. not to mention the additional $1000
to get their scripting right ;)

i saw a bunch of random people here claim it was a good paypal replacement. i went there and the first few pages were consistent and somewhat professional looking, so i signed up. their IPN/integration manual made me think it would be easy to switch over. however, once i send the user over to stormpay to make the transaction and setup the subscription, it all goes to shit. it's not like paypal, where you can easily add bank accounts or tell it "use my visa for this subscription"
i had to put funds into my account first off, which isn't done yet because it uses some third party to charge my visa, then there's a time lag from that to get the funds into my stormpay account. then what.. what happens in a month when my stormpay account is out of funds? it won't rebill my credit card, stormpay doesn't record that info...
that's the issue i see. it just isn't one integrated system.
and when i said "paypal's professionalism" i was specifically talking about their system, UI and usability. it's clean, easy to use, things don't look like they were just thrown up like a lot of stormpay's sites.
stormpay also has an "advertise with us" thing - what kind of payment program tries to put banner ads on their pages? aren't their fees they charge on all transactions good enough already?
