    One has to invest money and time to set 
    up a payment gateway, and then one has 
    the responsibility to respond to customers 
    and maintain the app.
Setting up a paypal account takes minutes and will be enough in such an early stage.

Beware lock-in, though. If you're doing 1-time payments it's not so bad, but subscriptions are basically impossible to migrate from one platform to another.
