RE: [WISPA] merchant accounts/credit cards
I sold a bunch of dial up modems...etc to a guy in Namibia, Africa last year and he had to transfer the money via wire to my bank because PayPal wouldn't accept a bank out of that region. I feel that there is a good reason why PayPal does that :-) Mac -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Butch Evans Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2006 11:18 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] merchant accounts/credit cards On Wed, 31 May 2006, Rich Comroe wrote: used them for my online store long ago.

RE: [WISPA] merchant accounts/credit cards
I use PayPal and am very happy. I do not have a terminal and do not need to swipe cards from here. Their rates for non-eBay items seem to be in line with others. I have full control over my account and even have a Master Card debit card from them. Simple and painless and I don't have to maintain any secure web sites to accept payment. Your needs may be different. Oh and by the way people do not have to be PayPal members to post payments.

I have had a good experience with these guys. They are compatible with my billing/provisioning program. They saved me a ton of money over my Bank of America merchant account.

Re: [WISPA] merchant accounts/credit cards
Cybersource.com via Bank of America. DO NOT buy a terminal, use the virtual terminal. I use the virtual terminal for my subscribers I enter a setup fee for $WW, subscription for $XX amount billed on YY day each month for ever, or until they want to leave my service. I perform this entire transaction via their installed connection using my laptop before I leave. It emails the client before and after the billing happens and emails them a warning when they need to call me to update their expiration date etc. The virtual terminal also helps my insurance rates. I was quoted insurance premium x6 if I kept credit cards on file at my business. I figure BofA has more security goons than I do to keep this data safe. If you do need a terminal, buy one off of ebay as the rental fees are like paying extortion!

Re: [WISPA] merchant accounts/credit cards
I use PayPal and am very happy. I originally used PayPal and was forced to switch to a merchant e-account. Too many orders from countries where PayPal didn't serve. Oh and by the way people do not have to be PayPal members to post payments. Too many orders lost from customers that don't have PayPal accounts (unless things changed in the last 2 years since I switched to e-account, but way back you had to setup a PayPal account to make a purchase). Too many orders lost from customers that refused to use PayPal. Too much time spent providing customers with bank transfer info that couldn't or wouldn't use PayPal. It was a wonderful relief the moment I left PayPal behind and had direct credit card clearing from mastercard or visa. Vendor recommendations? I'll admit I didn't shop independently. Our hosting service provided e-commerce with MIVA Merchant, and enabled credit card clearing with LinkPoint CSI. Works great.

Re: [WISPA] merchant accounts/credit cards
One question here would be are you integrating with a billing system of any kind? If so, what does that billing system support? I've had great luck with Linkpoint (integrated with Platypus), and also use Innovative Merchant Solutions (integrated with Quickbooks Point of Sale - no other choice that I know of, but the are VERY reasonable) for my storefront / retail sales activities. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2006 2:40 PM Subject: [WISPA] merchant accounts/credit cards Can anybody suggest any good vendors for a merchant account and card processing terminal?

Re: [WISPA] merchant accounts/credit cards
Looks like they've definitely made some major improvements since I used them for my online store long ago. What about the supported countries? I was always getting emails from customers from African countries I'd never even heard of that couldn't place their orders thru paypals. cheers, Rich - Original Message - From: Butch Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2006 9:52 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] merchant accounts/credit cards On Wed, 31 May 2006, Rich Comroe wrote: Too many orders lost from customers that don't have PayPal accounts (unless things changed in the last 2 years since I switched to e-account, but way back you had to setup a PayPal account to make a purchase).
