Why can't ccbill paysites set subscription rates in different currencies??? - GoFuckYourself.com

Why can't ccbill paysites charge ?29,95 instead of $29,95 to their european subscribers.
Verotel can do this why not ccbill?? The Us Dollar is weaker then the Zimbabwe Dollar
at this moment.
I have this from the verotel website :
"The fluctuation of the US Dollar, the Euro and the British Pound may impact your revenue dramatically if you only charge in one currency. Both good reasons to use a multi-currency processing system like Verotel."

?29,95 equals $44 so if you have an average paysite let's say with 1000 european subscribers every year
you loose like $14000 yearly if you keep billing in that worthless dollar.

Yes, Paycom/ Epoch allows that for example.

We have the same problem - CCBILL's credit card products can be set only in dollars, we would also very much appreciate beeing able to set them in EURO's ..

I thought ccbill did this already,Im sure I went to a site and it offered the membership in cdn$

SegPay can process and settle your transactions in USD, EUR and GBP. No conversion necessary.

Hit me up directly for more information.

Do you mean that for example if you are billing US members $24.99 you want to be able to bill UK members £24.99? or along those lines?

If so, i think that is a great idea, maybe not to that extreme but at least say £19.99. I mean £19.99 is not much to someone from the UK but i guess $40 bucks is quite a bit to pay monthly if you're from the US. So the prices should be able to be set independently according to country. Especially so now the fx market is so messed up.

I though that when ccbill were advertising this new geo ip thing that was going to be the entire point of it? or else what is the point of it, just so people can see how the conversion from dollars breaks down in their currency?

I'm suprised more ccbill site owners have not asked this question. Has anyone any idea if ccbill will be introducing this in the near future? this would mean more money for all webmasters using ccbill i'm sure.

I get joins in euro's and have for a few months, pretty sure its part of the geo ad system.

I just spaced asking if I could charge all traffic that way.

We are proud to announce that on Monday, October 29th, 2007, the CCBill Geo IP Forms are going live! With CCBill Geo IP Forms, all subscription sign-up forms are localized for the consumer, ensuring that these forms are filled out with the consumer?s correct location data as well as displaying the form in the native language of the country where the consumer is located.

CONSUMER EXPERIENCE:
When a consumer signs up on your Web site, the country in which the consumer is located will be automatically detected and the sign-up form displayed accordingly. For example, if a consumer is located in France, the language of the form will be French, pricing will be displayed in Euros and the consumer?s country will be automatically set to France. The same holds true for all other countries.

Because the type of currency is set based on consumer location, the consumer will not be charged currency conversion fees, provided they sign up using the native currency of their bank. In this case, the price they see on the form is exactly the price they are charged. If the consumer signs up using a form of currency that is not their bank?s native currency, they may be still charged a conversion fee.

Note: This system will only affect settings that are not already passed in to the sign-up form. For example, if you pass in the consumer?s country as Germany, that setting will be used instead of the automatic Geo IP detection.

As of Monday's launch, the Geo IP Forms system will be active on all Client subaccounts, so no additional setup is required. If you wish to deactivate the system for all or specific subaccounts, please contact Client Support at [email protected].

Um, i think that would qualify as DCC... Dynamic Currency Conversion.

I think.

I believe one needs a merchant account for each currency, at least as aggregator. No? Wow... I need to catch up
