I've recently released a site that presently integrates with PayPal for taking payments, this doesn't require you to hold a PayPal account as you can submit credit cards through the PayPal checkout without having to sign-up etc.

But what other options would you say were recommended or perhaps even required to ensure you capture as many potential customers as possible?

EDIT: We accept payments worldwide by the way.
