Most of my clients require donation and shopping cart integration into their websites. I have always used PayPal to run the transactions, but PayPal is a nightmare to work with. I'm looking for an alternative company to handle the credit card processing.
I had looked into Amazon FPS, then realized that it requires an Amazon account in order to process the transaction, which I cannot do. Seems like my only option is Google Checkout. Is it solid? I've read some horror stories of random account closures.
Your thoughts would be helpful as I make this decision. I am looking for ease of API integration, no requirements for the users other than valid credit-card information, and low transaction fees.
I've written modules to work with point Link Point and Authorize.net. Authorize.net is far superior in consistency, logical response values, and had much better documentation.
try authorize.net.

Generally, which would customers prefer? To remain on my site or be transferred to paypal to complete a purchase?
Do customers prefer the security of a paypal branded page? or would users prefer to remain on my site and process payments through the api?
In all honesty it's probably worth sending them off to paypal. Most 'buyers' online wont have a preference as they don't quite understand it. Yet, some will be re-assured that they're interacting with a familiar brand.
I've had this with some sites that I've written. Some people wont even register on the site for fear of people stealing their information. The funny thing is, these people will then phone the store and happily give all important information over the phone. It's madness! :)
I guess it all comes down to the individual, but redirecting to Paypal and having them complete it there is probably the easiest option. HTH!

My site which have premium content should grant access to privileged users. These users should be assigned into privileged group only when they send sms to some number. How can I collect money from these user sms on my paypal account.
I have premium content and paypal account. Already spend too much time looking for decent explanation of this approach, but I didnt find any useful tutorial.
So, please share some links or thoughts which explains what steps I should complete in order to set this like explained above.
Thanks
SMS transactions are suitable if you offer services or content at a very low price, bellow dolar and up to 10$, otherwise it makes no sense. You should consider to remove user membership based on this payment, mainly for reason that this method of payment is used for anonymous users.
Google is your friend, some better investigation and right keywords and you should find answers.
Hope this helps, good luck.

I am looking to develop an app that accepts credit card information for non-digital products. In other words, In-App purchase does not apply in this case. What I'm looking to do is VERY much like the Chipotle app with which you can purchase food.
What is the best way to facilitate this type of transaction?
You're right, In-App purchase does not apply to non-digital products. For your type of transaction, there are a few options on the market, but the cheapest and easiest solution seems to be ZooZ.
Your users will be able to check out with credit cards or PayPal. I think you'll find that the seamless user experience will result in high conversion rates.
I should note: I have the privilege of working at ZooZ :)

Does anybody has any experience with Stripe payment provider?
Which payment provider is advisable for startup business?
Stripe is very friendly to startups and developers. (Disclaimer: I work for Stripe.)
While we don't offer anything like PayPal's Adaptive Payments, I think you'll find the simplicity of the API to be great for getting up and running quickly, so you can go back to worrying about your actual business rather than worrying about how to get paid.
But don't take it from us, ask our users: http://gc-taylor.com/blog/2011/12/8/why-we-ditched-paypal-stripe/.
Depends on what you want to do with it.
PayPal is great if you want to start accepting payments in a heartbeat, online and offline.
As with all products / services, depending on your growth speed, you may eventually outgrow it. But for a start-up wishing to accept your first payments it's perfect.
They now offer some pretty strong products with new REST-based API's, accepting card payments directly or guiding buyers through the PayPal site to use any funding source (beyond just card).
Actually, my understanding is that Stripe requires you, the owner to be in the US but you can accept payments from anyone.

My current online shop use PayPal express checkout (for credit card too) to charge users.
Our surveys (and A/B testing) showed that they are willing to make am order in a fewer step and without going to Paypal website.
We are based in Hong Kong so Website Payment Pro with DirectPayment can't be used.
Do you any other solution that could fit (i.e same level of pricing) our needs.
Small transactions (< 100 USD), need to fully integrate the solution within our shop for credit card (no redirection to another website)?
We will probably keep paypal as a backup solution for customers without credit cards.
Since PayPal indeed does not offer WPP in Hong Kong, I see just three options:
Open a business in US/UK/Canada where WPP is available;
Use a standard credit card payment provider, not PayPal;
Keep using WPS.
I'm afraid that none of these are the same level of pricing and benefits though. :(
I wonder if you have the same problems with Google Checkout.
