That's so convoluted about WorldPay's system?

I'm using Worldpay's Select Junior and it is trivially easy.

Similar methods are available from a number of other providers including 
Protx, DataCase (who are often recommended), Verisign, and others.

Then if you prefer to handle the payment processing as a back end process 
rather than sending the user to the processors site for handling you can 
use any processor you like however Datacash are again often recommended.

I have to say I am using WorldPay and I'm happy enough with them.

Isn't that just a matter of printing an "invoice" to a webpage with a link 
to pay it?
