Topic: New Merchant Service Suggestions (Read 137 times)

I don't know what credit card processors you've looked into, but I've never encountered one that's more expensive than PayPuts.  Don't create multiple account with PayPal, that's a violation of their terms of service.  You're allowed to have seperate accounts for personal and business use, but multiple accounts for the same entity is a violation, and will only make your effort to retrieve your money more difficult

I sold my gunshop in 2016, so haven't been in the loop since then.  I just looked through my old emails for a statement from the last CC processor I used; they used to go by ChargeItPro.com but now that url redirects to GravityPayments.com.  I used Charge It Pro for years, so I'll assume they are still legit.  Maybe it's worth giving them a call, and comparing their rates to others.  Again, if you haven't already, reach out to the NRA Business Alliance.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Yep, firearms related.  I have used paypal as the checkout on my website since 2006 without a single chargeback.  Some fucktard sitting in gradma's basement "fighting oppression" turned me into paypal, who didn't bother to check with me, they just permanently closed my account and are sitting on my money for 180 days.  Multiple emails just get roboform replies, no humans to tell me what policy I violated.

Switched my entire sight to my 2nd, then 3rd paypal account and same thing happened. So snowflake is watching and reporting.

Working in other solutions, one of which will integrate coinbase into the checkout.

Got tired of the insane fees traditional cc processors are charging and switched to paypal for cc processing then THIS happened. One low volume month my fees with my previous cc processor hit 9% due to all the little extra fees.

Not sold on Freedom coin either, but it is integrated into gunbroker's check out so I took a look and got an account just in case somebody wants it for gb.

Thanks again for the input!

It sounds like you are looking for something like what Coinbase Commerce has to offer for you and your clients. Your customers can buy in their Coinbase Wallets cryptocurrencies using their credit cards while you can receive BTC payments that are converted to fiat straight to your bank account.  The good side about this one is they are the ones giving your the needed html codes for you to have the new checkout pages for accepting Bitcoin payments in your website. Other option is Bitpay which is a similar service, they also have crypto debit cards the same as what Coinbase is also offering.

Based on what I read, you have two options available.

1. Polispay
2. Bitpay

Visit their website to know more about their offerings but also check with them if your industry is accepted or not. If it's related to Guns and stuffs like that, I am not entirely sure.

But if it is accepted, none of your customers will have to purchase bitcoin separately to make a transaction in your website.

Hope this helps!

Have you heard of Bitpay? Try doing a little google search and you will

I'm gong to make a couple of assumptions here, please correct me if I'm wrong:

1. Based on your user name I assume this has to do with firearms (but I don't know why you say that's "high risk," unless you specifically mean mixing firearms and PayPal is high risk.)
2. Based on your use of the English language I'm assuming you're American, where firearms are legal.

If you're business is legit and all your sales are legal, sign up for a merchant account with any of the credit card processing companies.  There are very few that won't serve a firearm business, in fact I think BofA is the only company operated by fucktards that will refuse.  I ran my first gunsmithing and gun sales business out of my garage, and used Quickbooks to keep track of finances.  Quicken offers credit card processing that integrated with the software, and was quite easy to use.

If you're still having trouble finding a credit card processing outfit that will support you, ask the NRA for help.  They have a huge list of companies that still value America and it's constitution.  

If you want to start accepting crypto and you're not technically skilled enough to set up your own node and payment server, look into Bitpay.com.  They offer services for retailers that make accepting crypto easy.  I see you're already set up with Coinbase, and that's probably a good fit as well.

I have looked into FreedomCoin, and I'm not sold.  It's not a decentralized coin, and the company doesn't have the history to instill a lot of confidence.  Finding a company that will accept credit cards from your clients, and pay you in a decentralized crypto is going to be hard, if not impossible.  I don't know of any such company.

Just to pontificate a little on the broader implications of your request; the more legitimate businesses that start to accept direct crypto payments, the more main-stream crypto will become.  It's just a matter of time before your clients start using it more and more.  Like Elon Musk said this past weekend; Bitcoin is inevitable.

Howdy!

This is my 1st post. Forgive me if I am asking what is a painfully obvious question for you pros.


I am a merchant in an unpopular, high risk industry.  Some punk sitting in grandma's basement keeps turning me into Paypal and getting me shut down.  I have used paypal as my checkout on my website since 2006 without a single chargeback, but since someone turned me in, they shut me down....4 times... without notice, without appeal, and are sitting on my money for 6 months.

I am in the process of adding bitcoin to the website and think I have that part worked out, but bitcoin is not popular with my client base.

What I need is a crypto exchange or processor that allows my customer to pay with their credit card (buying crypto) and I can move the crypto where I want it or just have it deposited into my bank account.  I want to replace the paypal 'buy now' buttons on my website with buy now buttons that will basically serve the same purpose.

I just set up an acccount with coinbase for the business, but their buy now buttons are only going to work for customers that already have crypto wallets.

I have only found 1 company that does this with a really obscure, really close to worthless coin, not that the value part is a big deal, I will cash out rather than do this for investment.

Does anyone have any experience in a similar situation or know what direction I should be looking in?

My industry is not popular with the processing companies and the ones that are want 3 pints of blood, my 1st born, etc to sign up with them.


Thanks in advance, JC
