What did the processing fees on CCBill look like, or did you get that far?

• whatamidoingyo 1y ago
  Here's a part of the message I received from them: - $25.00 - Monthly fee for the merchant account. - $19.95 - Monthly fee for the Authorize.net payment gateway (API Connection to your website) - 3.95% - Keyed rate - $0.25 - per transaction fee - $1,450 - HIGH-RISK fee - 10% Rolling reserve It just seems unfair, as these fees are for "adult content" sites (i.e. nudity, etc.), which is not what I built.

    Why not just go straight to authorize.net? Or your local bank can probably set you up with them... always worked for me.

      I didn't even consider that as an option. I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

      Because authorize.net is a payment gateway, not a processor. You'd still need a processor and the one your bank works with will have similar requirements. Honestly, those rates are better than I expected. I think OnlyFans has a 20% rate and the one real experience I have had with processors that handle adult industry was nearing 30%. They had legitimate fraud problems though.

  More than it's worth. Even if their fees weren't astronomical, their platform is a nightmare to work with.
