You told me about this at EuroPython. I looked at it, but really it doesn't do any more for us than the shopping cart we're using for EP and PyCon UK (Romancart). One issue is that regardless of which Payment Services Provider you use, you still have to go through your bank, and there are problems with cost here. Using PayPal this is a lot easier and cheaper (we only pay per transaction), whereas with most other options you have to pay a monthly charge as well. paying 12 month standing charges for 2/3 month use gets expensive.
