Starting up my first site, merchant account?

I'm with everyone else. Initially get set up with a 3rd party biller while you establish your biz. the 14%+ scares you, just raise your fees until you net the $$ you want in the end.

Thanks so much for your feedback guys.

CCbill is supposed to be the #1 choice because they really go over the sale (scrub?). Since I don't expect that to be much of a problem*, Standardpay sounds like the way to go.

I'm actually going into the business with two friends of mine, so we'll be creating a formal company and have gotten a small loan to get started.

At any rate, I think you're right about getting some sales history under our belts before going for that Merchant Account.



*It's a niche fetish product. Not much value for people who aren't into it.

Just please, whatever you do, if you offer an affiliate program make it so you don't have to change links if you should switch procssors.

Just my 2c.
