[zoli]

I was just reviewing WorldPay, as far as I know, international companies can get a merchant account with them.
They do not have specific prices on their website, if anyone could share how much are they actually charge (setup fee, annual fee, per transaction fee, chargeback fee, etc.), that would be great.

Why not just semd them an e-mail, describe your business for them, and send it.

Im sure they will reply to you with the most reliable prices.

Yes they have a prices on their web site, but it is realy hard to find. Ten days before I spent two hours and finally I find it, but sorry men i forgot where. I remember something about >small business > fee, or you have to click on basket icon to get price list.

Thanks Samdax.

"The pricing below is valid for USA and Canada only."

Each merchant is different when they are not based in the United States / Canada unfortunately. A lot of times, you will not know the final discount rate until you have been approved. Sometimes, it might be a different acquiring bank

Worldpay are not truthful,please be very careful.

They tell you one thing on the phone or by e mail, but after they have emptied your coffers into their account,and > BEFORE< they actually allow you to go live, they then ask for another massive amount of money.This is true they did it to us and others on this forum.
Go to Barclays you will be far better off,all their fees are up front and they do not charge an annual fee. www.epdq.co.uk

Can you tell me anything about epdq?

Do They grant accounts to individuals or only to plc's?

Is the application procedure pretty straight forward?

Anything else...?

Their website doesn't give too much away and would like to learn a bit more before I email them.

Thanks

I contacted Barclays once about that, and you need to have a registered business within the UK.

So, no international ones.
Have you seen PaySystems? They have good pricing. LOL Just kidding!! Stay away

[nucleotide]

Thanks AF,

Oh well, I guess its a choice between Paysystems and Worldpay then!

[AF]

Why not 2CO?

I'm going to need multicurrency support and re-curring billing.

I am resident in the UK, but don't really want form a company at the moment.

Even if I did, epdq or anybody else might well still reject me as I have no trading history.

I was really quite enthusiastic about worldpay until I read these stories of their demands for extra cash upfront.

I might still give them a go and see if they do the same with me.

Maybe if I slip into my invisible cloak, I might, just might, sneak past.

They ask some people for money as a security deposit which they will hold for a period of time. But thats not uncommon by others (including Barclays) in the UK. It all depends on their review and risk assessment.

What is poor of Worldpay is they want the application fees upfront of which £100 is non-refundable.

I suggest go through www.web-merchant.co.uk, they promise to refund the fees if there is a problem. Phone them up they are very helpful - they are a much more friendly front end for worldpay than worldpay. !! Second recommendation is that you only apply for minumum services at first (until you decide to go with them or not) and then ask for extra services.

[nucleotide]

Thanks for that onestar,

Looking over the site it took me awhile to realise that it was Worldpay services they were offering.

Will have a good read through the site later.

Yeah I think I would prefer to go through an intermediary, probably more chance of getting answers to questions Worldpay wouldn't even consider responding to.

Thanks again.
