Hi,

I came across this CC processor when I was over at: http://www.paymentmedic.com/.

Its OrderButton.net.

Anyone have any information on them? I did a seach and no one has mentioned them here.

How do they look to you?

I was just about to open up for business (hosting) and Instabill died... so I'm frantically looking for other options.

I was going to use iBill - but I wasn't fond of not being able to do much in the backend when it comes to changing prices, etc (other than the application - maybe I missed something with them, dunno).

Thanks!

Why don't you just use Revecom and PayPal?

They are both tried and accepted solutions and they offer recurring billing, etc.

Also look into www.2checkout.com although they don't even have a phone number on their site. They say "if you need help send us a message and we'll call you", LOL.

I am with 2checkout nowand so far i am happy. As for the phone number, 740-852-6567

Sometimes its easier said than done with Revecom or 2Checkout. Right now I don't have $50 to spare, and I have a credit card that could handle having chargebacks charged to it (God Willing there wont be any) - and most require a bank account - which I don't have because of an incident that wasn't my fault (a worker stole my checks at Current (the check ordering place) and charged up $50,000+ and it hasn't been cleared of the Chek System that most banks all subscribe to).

So right now, I have to resort to something that's free and can send me checks and not deposit them in a bank account.

So that's my 2.2 cents... :D

hi..

rockergrll it seems that we both are in the same ship...

try using ClickBank.. right now i am using it.. but I want to switch to a better one..

if you find any.. please also let me know..

I would use ClickBank - but they don't offer recurring billing - which is needed for hosting (at least for me).

I think I may go with OrderButton.net for now - they seem good. And I did a search via Google and I haven't seen anything bad about them.

Might be something that some of you might be interested in - better than iBill or ClickBank, IMHO.

I just brisky skimmed our ReveCom Agreement for anything to do with a requirement of a Checking Account and didn't find one (maybe I skimmed too quickly?). Have their terms changed? We did not have to disclose anything to them regarding our checking account. We simply went to their site, "signed up," printed their agreement, initialed everything, signed some pages, and faxed it all, along with a credit card # for the $49 fee to them.

About a week later the account was ready for use. (I heard it's faster now-a-days?)

They can mail you a check or direct deposit it into a checking account.

Except for the free part, ReveCom seems to be what you are looking for. Their Control Panel and Support is great, too! :)

My problem is - I don't have a real credit card (and can't get one) - my only card is a Cobalt Card, and if someone were to do a chargeback (God Forbid nothing like that would happen), I probably wont have the funds to cover the charge back fees.

And plus - right now I don't have $50 to spare (I'm just starting up - and my husband is the only one working right now (I can't because I have an injured back) and money is tight as it is - plus I have an 18 month old son).

That's my store...Right now I need something that's free - and later on, If I'm not happen with them, I'll switch to something else, etc.

Unless you plan on reselling, a web hosting company is not cheap to start up (well, it is compared to 99% of other businesses, but it's still not "cheap" if $50 is hard to afford for such an important part of a business).

Also, I'm not sure what you mean about these charge backs. ReveCom (or some other merchant) would be the ones experiencing the charge backs, not you. They might charge you a small fee for the charge back (we haven't had one yet so I'm not sure), but I don't think they will charge your credit card for those fees without at least telling you first. I may be wrong. :)

Maybe my brain just isn't on today either (long weekend) and I'm missing something. Forgive me.

If you still want something free, I don't know of any. I'm sure they exist somewhere, though. :)

Yes I do plan on reselling -- for now, until enough funds come in where I can get my own servers...

Since I don't have a real credit card - and no bank account -- it makes it hard to fund my Cobalt Card (prepaid) -- right now they only are accepting funding through credit card or check card, etc.

And since I can't get a bank account right now, its hard to fund my Cobalt Card. So I can't pay for anything right now - like the setup fee for Revecom or the like.

Its a pain in the arse not having a bank account (can't even get a savings account because of the Chek System).

So I'm stuck in a boat without paddles right now.

*shrug*

Ouch. I assume you've petitioned your Check System problem to numerous banks, including credit unions?

Have you tried bumming a CC from your family or friends for that ReveCom fee? I mean -- if you can't find a free merchant service so that you can accept credit cards, you'll be losing out on a good deal of customers who want to pay with their cards and not wait for snail mail.

You can skimp by on some things in web hosting, but I feel accepting CC's is truely a must. Perhaps ReveCom will allow you to mail them a money order? Call them up, they are pretty friendly. :)

Like I said, I don't know of any free merchant services out there, but they probably exist if you dig deep enough.

Either way, good luck to you. :)

I've tried every bank here in Sarasota - literally. I spent 3 whole days going from bank to bank.... Nothing... I can't get into an Credit Unions because I don't know anyone that's a member (and I just moved here - so its kinda hard).

I did have a bank account before we moved to Florida (in June) through the bank (credit union) that my husband's work (Sam's Club) was affliated with. But down here - the Sam's Club isn't affiliated with a bank. And my husband can't get a bank account either because of a similiar situation (before we were married).

I did find a CC processor (see in my first post) at http://www.OrderButton.net.

That's why I posted - I wanted some opinions on it and if anyone knew anything about them (aka bad things/good things, etc).

Orderbutton.net

OK, I tried it for the last week, and well they are ok
however seems to be a big issue between their shiping and hosting type charges that have created a hassle for customers of mine.

So the search continues.

If your order is under 10 bucks, they're is a 2 dollar surchage + 7% transaction fee, if your total sales is under $10001.00.

i emailed them and they said that if it's under 10 then it's only $2 surcharge, no 7%

that's still crazy..
So, if you decided to sell something for like 5 bucks (example) they chagrge 40% transaction fee...

image, you sold something for 1.95? you'd have to pay them to sell it.

orderbutton seems non-friendly for webhosting operations:
I bypassed the inventory feature when creating a button and the order form for the customer says "this item is currently out of stock and can cause delays when ordering".
The recurring billing feature doesn't seem useful in that it would be preferable to have an indefinite billing period.
There is also no "set-up" type fees to add to any hosting packages which can be billed initially along with the monthly package fees, then to have only the monthly fees billed as a recurring fee.
Also I don't like the customer having to sign up with orderbutton in order to make a purchase, if that is the case then I'll use paypal... their rates are much cheaper but the sign-up requirement is a detriment as well.

On the plus side... i like how their cart system is a pop up so that your customer never leaves your site, and it is probably a good billing system for tangible goods :)

IBill is the only one i cant think that doesnt have a high setup fee.

Why don't you folks just setup your own merchant account? It's not at all hard to qualify, it's quick, and if you have $200, you can get it setup within 3 days.

Yes, you'll have monthly minimums, but at least you'll be able to process your own charges, for things not only like web hosting, but physical sales as well.

I would get a merchant account... if I had the money...and a bank account... Money is tight right now -- and until I make more money - then I have to find something cheap....
