Program Owners: More Sales With CCBill etc or Merchant Account?? - GoFuckYourself.com

The Porn Nerd · 07-07-2011, 11:21 AM

Straight up, let's cut through the billing bullshit once and for all:

PROGRAM OWNERS (not affiliates, thank you):
Do you make more sales with CCBill (or any 3rd party processer) or with your own merchant account?
Did you once use CCBill (or are still using them now, in a lesser role) and found you made MORE sales or LESS sales (or about the same) when you switched to a merch account.

Inquiring minds would like to know.

You have trade offs either way.

I have a merchant account, but also still use Zombaio and Verotel. I used to use CCB.

good question.

I don't think your emotionally stable enough for a merchant account.

You're going to make more money with a merchant account that with CCBill. With your own merchant account you can bang cards, have insane pre-checked hidden cross-sells, and do whatever the fuck you want until you get shut down and/or arrested. There's lots of billers that'll let you do whatever you want.

With CCBill, you're pretty well stuck following their rules and accepting their terms.

I'm NOT a program owner - sorry (and I apologize) - but as an affiliate I get more sales using programs that have their own merchant accounts. I don't necessarily consider that a good thing.

If you have a merchant account you can pretty well accept any sales, heck you can type the numbers in yourself although that may not be a good idea. So the question is a bit flawed.

The real question is which gives you the most retained revenue for the least trouble.
