I'm a non-US based startup and am looking for a payment gateway. Surely there are AJAX based payment gateways (as opposed to PayPal like which do redirects) that don't suck, and allow non-US merchants... but my googlefu is weak. Any recommendations?

If there are any US-only ones, let me know too

Braintree is great:

We use them at RapidRollout. They seem to be used by a lot of tech startups.

Braintree offers "transparent" redirects for maximum security. This redirects your users to their site in such a way that they do not ever see Braintree pages like they do with PayPal. The redirect just offers a way to transfer payment data to Braintree servers without going through your servers.

They also expose a RESTful API that you can make calls to from your servers (usually via their open-source client libraries).

Anyway, looks like you might be able to use AJAX to access the transparent redirect API. See here:

But I got that from a quick search only.
