CC Processors

Rainbo1956 · 07-07-2004, 06:24 PM

Has anyone ever heard of "PSW Billing Solutions"?

I'd like to change cc processors, so I'm looking into as many as I can where I wont have to pay Visa ransom...

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Oh, and I forgot to mention.
I'm with Verotel now...I don't want to use Paycom (just a personal thing)
I'm thinking about IBill...
CCBill wants the Visa ransom.

I get an awful lot of European traffic, but need to have them process in the US too

What's left that I may be missing?
I'm sure this question has been asked many, many times here...
But, I would like to know about PSW Billing too

Thanks in advance :groovy:

PSW is dead! They exited the billing market about a year ago and a lot of people lost a lot of money too!

If you need a new billing solution, I recommend going to one of the following tier1 providers: ccbill, ibill, epoch or jettis.

Oh, one other point, the visa ransom is only appicable if you have a US based presence, if you are in the EU region you do not have to pay the visa fee. If you are in the US region, you should consider it a cost of doing business!!!

Rainbo - in addition to the good ones above the Chilihost
recommended... I also recommend you check out NetBilling.com
all in the USA will require the VISA fee - if you want
to process Visa transactions... but you can process Master
Card and NOT Visa - if you choose to go that route...

Netbilling is great, but requires that you have your own merchant account...I am assuming since you are shy about paying the visa fee you would not have paid the $$ to get a merchant account yet!

Personally i would go with CCBill or iBill.

You have to pay th Visa fees but you can be sure they arent going to be closing down anytime soon

My word of advice is pay the Visa ransom and go with either ccbill, paycom or ibill.

You know they will be here next month!

I've avoided paying it twice - with PSW and company called Globill (sorry if I'm inducing heart-burn out there) and it cost a whole lot more than if I had gone with a compliant processor and paid my dues.....

Don't forget to include http://www.verotel.com in the list of processor who will also be here next month.

We use ccbill for the live stuff, and for the jock/latin stuff we have our own merchant accounts.

What I did notice that was with someone like CCBILL, they didn't want to approve a domain name with the word boy in it. With our own merchant account we pretty much can use any domain name we want.

Thanks everyone :groovy:
Lot's of good advice.

We had been happy with Verotel until they changed to the tickets club...

My site was too new to make it to their Tickets Pro or whatever...

Our pay site has taken some hard hits for being pretty young...first we were with PayPal, then Glo-Bill...then Verotel changed

We were shy about the Visa fee cause we're building a house and are already several thousands over budget and it's "still" not done :crybaby:

I'm getting ready to go with IBill now. Got the forms all ready...we're NOT taking anymore chances....

Thanks again for all the great info!
