Hello, i want to accept credit card payments for my hosting packages.

I was thinking of a merchant account but found later that i need to be a US business to get one of this accounts, like having SSN, US bank acocunt, US address, etc. At this present time i think I cant get all this requisites.

Is there other way to get a merchant account for nonUS business?

Since maybe this is not posible im considering using a third party procesor, but i have found just bad comments about this kind of solutions.

Would like to hear some advise from nonUS hosting companies that have been at the same stage as i am right now...

I'll be using ModernBill/Cpanel, so if you have any experiences with this software would be really great to hear from you.

Regards and happy holidays! :)

It would help a lot if you mentioned which country your business is registered in.

BTW, wrong forum! :rolleyes:

We are UK based and use paysystems for our merchant services.

ups! ;) , I think you are right about the forum mistake.. Hope a moderator could move this thread.

Im located in Mexico, so any advise of southamerican people would be really great.

I've already visited worlpay, i think they only ask for a bank account to sign up with them. Do they put the money in this bank account after a payment is made? The startup fees are a litle bit higher but if it is a good service i think i will pay for it. Though i would really prefer a merchant account.

Also, how difficult is to open a merchant account in the US. By the way, i have a SSN because i was born in Indiana, and a US address too. How hard would be to get the other requisites that are aske for all merchant services? I found out that i dont have to be located in the US, just need to have my business registered there, am I right?

Thanks for your replies guys! :)
