    Hi all,

    as my choice of processing companies is pretty limited due to the fact that (seems) only few of them work with Asian region - here is the question which i kindly ask you to clarify:

    • i definitely need a merchant account. If the processing company does not offer this service to me, but my bank does - could this work or i need to look for a processing company which provides me with a merchant account?

    The background of the question is the following: pretty often i face the situation that online card processing services of the bank are less competitive (%/transaction, monthly fees, etc.) than those the 3rd Party processing company offers, but this 3rd Party processsing company does not offer merchant account. I want to somehow combine these 2 services. Possible?
    Thanx a ton for your inputs!

    We can get the payment gateways, only when we decide what is the product to sell with.

    If you consider what the product/service, with the payment gateways, then only we get a suitable system, and the fees and facilities into measure.

    No payment gateway supports to sell AK47? Right??

    They visit your website, and offer the service, which may suitable for their system.

    we just think that just getting the coustomer to pay money form his credit card. but more than that we need to look for our profitability.

    if you want to sell PORN VIDEOS, that is entirely different.
