[bayouhost_tonya]

I have looked at IBill, and they seem to be good, but they take 15% plus 5% commision from each transaction.

Anyone know of anyone cheaper, with about the same service? My client wants to use one service for the cc processing and merchant account.

Thanks.

Most CC processors will handle adult web sites now. The problem is - the set up costs (about $2,000). And this money goes to Visa/MasterCard. And then Visa/MasterCard wants around $500 a year to maintain records on you.

You still have to pay these high charges to IBill, CCBill, & and the other third party adult processors. This is one of the reasons why 2CO & Paypal do not accept adult websites.

Consider a real merchant account & you will not have to worry about the high discount rates. They still might be a bit higher than the norm (2.30-2.40%) - but should be a lot less than 15%.

e-online data will handle adult content as long is its actual merchandise sale vs streaming video, etc...

So, if your client is selling tangible products (DVD's, etc)... take a look at them.. It wont be as cost prohibitive as some of the other options

ccbill takes 14.5% with a 5% hold back that goes back to you. Plus their support is great. You can give them a call any time as well if you have problems.


Only thing is CCBill will not do tangible items.
