What's the latest update on Visa/Canada? - GoFuckYourself.com

Pseudonymous · 07-09-2009, 03:08 PM

I will be putting the option of visa on my network I am startin the process of getting a merchant account, third party or maybe not, we'll see. I am wondering what is a good route for this. I remember seeing alot of threads way back on how you'd need to incorporate it outside canada, blah blah but is this still true. Does netbilling or anything like that offer it to Canada without any issues now or?

Anyone know at all?

Is the only way around it by opening your own merchant account at a canadian bank and do they allow adult businesses to do that ?

CCBILL can now hook up Canadian webmasters without a US corporation. Lots of Canadians have their own merchant accounts - you won't get one with a Canadian bank but nothing stopping you from using an offshore or American merchant account.

yes because then you would have to incorporate your company in the states or offshore no?

I dont typically deal with this side of things so forgive my ignorance.

Thanks for the info though. I will look into just using CCBill

Visa didn't used to do third-party for Canada. I was never clear on the reasons. So, your company had to be registered on US territory.

Now, Visa allows third-party to process Canada. So you have to be a North-American-based co. to use people like CCBill now...

:D
