Merchant account, who to use??

[LiveTwinksCam]

I am starting another site that deals mainly with direct members, I was wanting to know what company would be best for the merchant account? ccbill? paycom? etc, etc?

I have a bias for CCbill and that is probably who we are going to use, because Patrick is such a awesome guy! But any info or feedback is greatly appreciated.

when i hear the words "merchant account", i automatically think "netbililng.com". although i've never used them or heard anything about them (good or bad).

doesn't sound like he's actually looking for a merchant account, though. and ccill is always a good choice

Sorry, I mean billing company.

CCBill is an excellent choice for 3rd Party billing. this is probably the route you will probably have to go since getting a merchant account for membership sites is really tough and very risky doing it on your own. Going with a processor that has a very tight scrubbing policy will in the long term save your butt.

You can also use Paycom and Verotel. I have not had any problems with them and they are good for processing as well.

Netbilling can get you a merchant account, I believe, and you can process on your own, and scrub through their scrubbing system...but it's more dangerous and more headaches...

I would recommend ccbill & epoch all the way.
