But Payment Gateway is fast, efficient and easy to get on board with, and don't require an Internet Merchant Account to boot. **What do you dislike about PayGate?** While they have an international reach, they do not work with US banks, and do not have a USA telephone contact number to call into. **Recommendations to others considering PayGate:** If you must have a live service agent with a USA phone number, on your USA time clock, then it might not work for you. If you can work with a foreign time clock and/or email, which for this type of product is probably fine, then they're superb. **What problems is PayGate solving and how is that benefiting you?** My clients have very cost effectively integrated a seamless and easy to use/implement payment gateway into their website ### 5.
