    MPA2 crew looking for advice......

    The MPA2 crew from Mansion Productions are considering adding an additional processor to back up the existing processors already implemented. Currently three main ones are Epochsystems , CCBill , and PSW billing and also implemented are Netbilling (for merchant account holders), Jettis , IBill and of course Electracash for check processing and EGroup (NoCreditCard) as dialer solution.

    Now this time we want to have a European processor, and possibly an Asian one as well.

    What we need from you guys in GFY land is advice on which one(s) to choose to implement.

    So please spam this thread with your pros and cons about your experiences with your European and or Asian processor that can handle the adult webmasters demanding processing.

    We want it all... Good or bad!

    Thanks all....



    Oh and one thing.... GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!

        ibill.. i like them.. but if there is a prob, i bet the affiliates will be bugging the shit out of the sponsor.. something that they might not want.

        i dont know about their eu processing or shit. i just like to say ibill is a doube edge sword.

            Why - PayPal has been implemented for over a year (just forgot to mention them...) and Epassporte is in the works. (KimmyKim... please stand up :-))
            QuickBooks has been implemented from the start, for payouts, and Electracash offers a product where they will print, cut and send out checks for the affiliate program owner, called MPA2PAY...

            JupZChris -

            chowda - We took IBill out of the three standard processors well over a year ago. They are still offered as an alternative.

            Stramm - They are definately on top of our list. Why do YOU go for them in particular? Pros? Cons?

              hmmm now a cool feature would be is if the signup process could determine where the surfer was from ie europe / asia and then direct them to that particular processor that best fit that surfer, also could setup who would be the backup as well. If that isn't in place yet.

                    Verotel has been doing really well for me as of late... so my vote definitely goes to them for implementation into MPA2

                          2000charge cause of the german direct debit. It's a huge market and direct debit is there the #1 payment solution.

                          Verotel cause they seem to accept lots more euro CCs than eg. CCBIll, IBill

                                            How about SMS billing. Would that be something you guys would want us to add ? Paying over the cell phone is getting bigger and bigger in Europe, and Im sure it would generate some extra sales for you.... Should we, yes or no

                                                Verotel and 2000charge.

                                                Why? Simply because Europeen are extremely limited since PSW's fiasco.

                                                We need solid EU processors... why not add both Verotel and 2000charge?

                                                Verotel is the most popular... but will they be still alive in 1 year?

                                                I agree that 2000charge's BE debit card is pretty interesting.

                                                  Yes, but it's nothing extremely important RIGHT NOW.

                                                  You better add 2 solid EU processors like Verotel and 2000charge before thinking about SMS billing.

                                                  As someone said previously, EU processors can be very interesting for any US sponsor. Redirect any EU traffic directly to the MPA2's EU processors list. (CCBill EU and Jettis are not real EU processors)

                                                      2000charge.com for eu debit. If you're going to go for an eu processor you may as well go for one that actually processes eu specific payments as well as eu cards.
                                                      I've asked for 2000charge implementation with mpa2 previously.. good to see you're looking into it.

                                                        Hmmm. I hear you... Now out of the two ones (Verotel and 2000charge - the latter btw originating from the crew from MS Bill in Los Angeles. Whats up Wolf...) What are the pros and cons between them?

                                                        As for your comment about SMS billing. You might be right - We do want to add it though, so the question is more WHO rather than IF

                                                        I also believe in the EU processors to better handle US merchants EU traffic. Optimization is key. No doubt. Great feedback

                                                          We have for a while. No doubt that this is something lots of our existing as well as new MPA2 users (both owners and affiliates) will benefit from.

                                                          The idea is that MPA2 will get a valid transaction through, whatever it takes, and adding a EU processor is definately important for many webmasters.

                                                            I think 2000charge would be a great add on to the MPA2. We used them awhile back and they have great support and they had their pages in over 10 languages which is nice and never had any problems with them.

                                                              I mean doing well as in overall performance. I've been rotating my JOIN page 50% CCBill and 50% Verotel for the past two weeks -- a crude, but effective way to test overall performance. And in that span, Verotel has almost doubled CCBill in successfull new sales, with nearly equal traffic reaching both join page.

                                                              Coincidence that the surfers that were willing to buy happened to hit the Verotel join pages? Maybe.... but I doubt it. I think it's just the level of CCBill's scrubbing as compared to Verotel.

                                                              Does the extra scrubbing help webmasters? Sure it does.... but when it starts literally cutting into the bottom line, you definitely have to start looking for alternative ways to get the sales through.

                                                                btw i've just seen mpa2 switched on for an affiliate and the ratio is 1:21 for 84 hits. 2 epoch, 2 cascaded to psw. I realise the secondary ratio falls to a third/half of the first and there are bugger all hits which is why the cascading looks hot, but still, damn.. good shit!

After all we do have to stay below a 1% CB ratio these days. However, VALID transactions are being scrubbed out. And THAT is not what we want. Bottom line AND being in business is what it is all about. Be competitve, stay ahead... use what is necessary to stay on top!

That is NOT the norm. The norm, and this is from feedback from our customers, is an average of 26% more signups for the secondary and third combined. Over 30% is not abnormal. So looking at your own numbers and calculating that you will make that much more if you cascade through a secondary and thir processor, an investment into a system like MPA2 is absolutely worth it when you get to a certain volume of transactions.

                                                                                      I will come back with new numbers once we have a EU processor selected and tested with customers for a while - then break it down by geo location.

                                                                                        As someone said previously, EU processors can be very interesting for any US sponsor. Redirect any EU traffic directly to the MPA2's EU processors list. (CCBill EU and Jettis are not real EU processors)

                                                                                              From everyting I have heard, you guys have a great product. Your cascading billing is a must and I am sure merchants that use MPA are reaping the reward.

                                                                                              Why do you think checks make up such a low percentage? 7-8% seems low in my experience.

                                                                                              Are you guys planning to do anything different to give ACH more exposure?

                                                                                              Afterall, ACH is cheaper to process, has better retention and with the VISA/MC issues more merchants will be looking to maximize ACH as time goes on.

I will post them in this thread in a few days...

                                                                                                  wig - Thanks for the props. And yes they are! No doubt about that.

                                                                                                  From when I was with Epochsystems back in the 90's the ACH (check) processing was +/- 10% of the total sales. I haven't seen that big of a difference today except for, as you say, the ones that promote it harder. This is something we do recommend our customers to do, especially in these "crazy" credit card processing days. No doubt.

                                                                                                  There are several things that can be done by the merchant to increase the check processing volume within the MPA2 setup - it is all in the layout of the join form sequence. Highly customizable - and it is up to each individual MPA2 administrator/program owner to set this.

                                                                                                  I am personally a big fan of ACH processing and think it should be dealt with a lot more seriously than unfortunately most program owners do today.

                                                                                                  So we are definately on the same page here

                                                                                                  I would love to hear from program owners that does NOT offer ACH processing as a form of payment WHY they don't.
                                                                                                  I would also love to hear from program owners what THEIR % of total sales comes from ACH transactions...
