I'm surprised anyone would pay by WU, considering it's the payment option of choice for scammers.

oh, really? im from a little country in South America, here we use Western Union as default selling system, but im trying to expand my business to the rest of the world.

What payment methods do you recommend ?

Im using only paypal express right now.

Maybe I need to add moneybookers or??

Thanks !

Hi, I tried to install this module but unsuccessfully. Could you give me advice where exactly I should copy "includes"?
Is it my_name/includes/modules/payment?

Once again I ask stupid question but I know very little about it.

Drag and drop the 'includes' folder to the root (top) directory of your site, and all the folders and files will end up where they belong. (Which is exactly what it says in the readme.txt file.)

Why do you think this is the payment method for scammers? It's basically straight up cash being sent to you. You cash the check on the spot and you get CASH? Can you please elaborate? I'm also considering this option for customers who don't have credit or debit cards, as well as some international customers.

My opinion (also explained in your other post) is that no one with any brains wuld send you cash (via Western Union or otherwise) and hope that you would actually ship the goods.

Great idea for you, maybe, but the only way most people would pay that way is if you were selling something illegal.

Interesting, we've probably had 100+ Western Union transfers from customers who insisted on using that payment method. I saw the potential so I figured why not advertise it on the site.

It's the same as people using a money order, and there are lots of people out there that use money orders because they just don't have bank accounts I suppose.
