Two new payment gateways: MoneyBookers and SecureHosting UPG

We've put two new payment gateway integrations live this morning: Moneybookers and SecureHosting UPG. (So we now provide support for PayPal Website Payments Standard, PayPal Website Payments Pro, Authorize.net (USA only), SagePay (UK only), Moneybookers and SecureHosting UPG.)

Moneybookers has very wide global coverage, so is particularly good for our users who are based in countries where our other gateways don't operate. They also have a very compact payment page which can stay in your widget iframe, so the guest doesn't have to leave your website to make their payment. PayPal Pro has this option too, but with other gateways the guest leaves your website to make payment, then returns back afterwards. Keeping the payment page within the widget iframe offers a smoother experience for your guest. (The payment page is still hosted, and secured, by the gateway. But it appears within the iframe on your website, so the guest's experience is that they stay on your website, even though they are typing their card number onto a page on the gateway's site.)

SecureHosting UPG is good if you want to see the actual card number the guest used to make a payment, as you'll find this within SecureHosting's interface. This is useful if you want to charge further amounts to the guest without needing to ask them again for their card number.
