I agree with Jerry, when you look for someone, don't go for the
cheapest, you will not get anyone who is capable, if you want someone in
India who really know their stuff, they cost around the same as
Europeans. I do have a few horror stories from India when it comes to
payment providers, but I can't say more due of NDA.

It do apply to anything involving transactions of money, no matter if
it's ecommerce or something else, just keep in mind to get a good one
who can help you and don't fear the cost, as it will be small compared
to the losses you could do in the future if you use someone who don't know.
