Not to hint too much here but.....

What features would you overcome you with joy when found in a 3rd party merchant processor? Let me know what you think.

(if this is the wrong forum for this thread, mods please move)

Thanks,

Alot of the same features as 2CO...

I think they would be the best example of a great 3rd party merchant...

I'd like to see the fees a bit lower.

$.45 and 5.5% per transaction hurts, especially when I have several hundred $3.95 transactions per month. Maybe $.25 and 3.5% or something like that.

Let us take checks online.

Deposits more often than 2 times a month, maybe every $1000 in sales, keeping the first $1000 for chargebacks.

I'm pretty happy with 2CO but I'm payin out around $800-900 in fees per month and a real merchant account, hassles and all, is starting to look attractive.

ECHO: 2.2%, .35 per transaction, no fees for chargebacks, $99 to get started, $20 per month minimum costs.
