So, Jettis is gone...Does that not concern you?
 

This is sort of old news, but the fact that Jettis is gone as a proccesor really concerns me. We are left with 2 big boys now...what happens if Epoch buys out CCBILL or vice versa, or something happens to one of those guys? We will be fucked as an indutry...

get your own merchant :)

it would actually be quite good if there were no third party processors, would cut out a lot of the competition...

right, but the reality is that many people cannot get a merchant account, so 3rd party proccesors serve a rightfull purpose, and currently own the majority of the market share compared to merchant account holders.

what will studiocash be processing with now jettis is gone ?

You are correct, and that would eliminate a ton of competition, and cheating asswipes:) :2 cents:

There is Ibill still, so we still have 3.

Intertrans is till out there.

We will offer Cascading with Epoch as our main processor, CCBill, and another proccesor to be determined (iBill perhaps)

Verotel
iBill
ccBill
Epoch/Paycom

Still a couple options out there.

verotel is the worst of the worst

Just saying there are options.
WG

Verotel likes the cock

Right, but the options are narrowing...this is cause for concern.

I myself would be concerned when there is actually only 1 or 2 left. It's not good for biz if Epoch or Ccbill buy out everyone. They need to compeat to survive. I highly doubt it will ever happen

Hi Meta,

I noticed that you were considering adding iBill as your backup in the cascade. I can't stress how important it is to diversify your portfolio so to speak when it comes to processing judging from the track record of the industry in the past 2 years.

I can help you get setup with an account. Hit me up at [email protected] or ICQ 137597378.

we are with Webstream, great service.

Check them out.

However, there are so many that can get a merchant account but think that they must handle their own fraud scrubbing and customer service which is surely not the case. There is no doubt that the merchants that have their own merchant acohahahahas spend less in processing fees, typically increase sales conversions and have more control over all aspects.

p.s. I am not knocking third party processing in any way, just stating facts.

!

Who do you recommend as a good merchant account fraud prevention/scrubbing/customer service/ type company?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

if ACH Billing is something that yall wanna do , WTS is the place to be for that.

Here are a few things that separate us:
- we only process U.S. checks ( thus, have NO 3rd party CC risk!)
- we allow both paid and free trials
- we can easily push refer codes through our system, allowing you to pay your webmasters out on "settled" check signups
- we have an in-house collections dep't, to collect more monies on your behalf
- we offer cross sells ( to your own sites, or our other merchants)
- we have loyalty offerings (for those cancelling their memberships)
- we only charge our fees on COLLECTED monies! (unlike our competition) Important facts: http://www.achdebit.com/sales/facts.html

i dont want to come off as spamming or anything, just wanted to show ya what seperates WTS from other ACH processors.

if anyone has any questions im always avalible to answer them.

Not sure.. any ideas?

Mitch

It says on their site that they only do check/ACH processing

A thought on this topic:

Online sales of adult content have been going on for close to 10 years (more like 9). That fact made this fact interesting to me:

In 1919, 10 years after the invention of the automobile, there were 108 auto manufacturers in the USA. Today, almost 100 years later, there are 2.5 in the USA (considering half of Chrysler is owned by Mercedes). Competition is just as strong in the US, between US manufacturers selling to consumers wanting or needing a US made automobile.

IMHO, competition will stay strong in this industry too, as long as there is more than one IPSP. I can?t guarantee it 100%, but almost, that there will be at least 2 of us left.

Another interesting fact is that even though we have had to reduce sales to chase ratios from the card associations, our costs in every single area have increased; there are fewer of us in the market, yet prices for processing have gone DOWN over the past few years.

Regardless of the number, even if there is only 1, your best, cheapest and surest option is using an IPSP. It is not hype; it is a proven fact that IPSP?s give you more money to your bottom line and the time you need to do what you do best; market your sites and traffic.

So use all of us, be set up everywhere, be prepared to move if you want or need to move processing. But don?t be mislead that fewer competitors make for less competition.

And an important point: Jettis did not ?go away?. They are very much around and involved in the ACH processing area and as consultants to EPOCH / Paycom. Jettis made a business decision to sell to Paycom; they were not forced to do anything.

LOL yeah and in 3 months they will go or was it "they are next" can remember that it was posted 1 year ago or was it 2 years ago LOL LOL LOL LOL
