Yesterday there was a discussion about the cons to having your own Merchant Account. How about a discussion regarding the benefits?
Paycom pointed out that effectively running a PPS program on a Merchant account would be near impossible. Impossible to comply with MC regulations. While this may be true, truth is the majority all PPS programs are already using Paycom. Why? Because paycom gives them the tools to make the most out of their surfer (ie pre-selected cross sells). Which would lead to the questions 'if paycom is cautioning about how tough it is to stay compliant with MC and they have all these large high risk pps programs running pre-selected cross sells just how safe are they? And how close are they to the MC and Visa CB limits? How close are they to receiving very large fines?' However those questions are for another thread and another time. I'm not here to knock Paycom. Heck, I've got them up on my join page
What I would like to discuss is the OTHER type of sites that were left out of yesterday's discussion.
- The type of site that treats their surfers the way they'd like to be treated.
-The type of site that is very upfront with their billing and has no surprises for the surfer.
- The type of site that under promises and over delivers.
We are that type of site (and there are many others). Twistys' chargeback rate is 0.19%. We have a support team that works around the clock to make sure our member's are happy and satisfied with their purchase. We do our best to make our member's happy any way we can. One example is when a long term member writes in with a problem or suggestion we automatically give them a free month. We believe in making our member's feel at home. If we treat them the right way they'll keep coming back to us.
As the owner of such a site we've had Merchant account on our minds for a long time. I'm sure we aren't the only ones. Just wanted to post to say we are looking forward to Ibill Direct US.
