with a geo ip database and some programming it could be done.. all it would need to do is check what country the surfer is coming from and then have it choose the appropiate pricing options on the page before the ccbill join page.

Problem is, you can only choose your price point(s) in USD - ccbill then auto-converts at the current exchange rate to the other currencies. So when the surfer (after being geo located) hits the ccbill page, he will still only be charged the same amount of USD as the US surfers.

The only way as far as I can tell is set different prices for the same monthly membership, so 29.95USD, 34.95USD etc, but then still, the surfer gets the drop-down menu in the currency of their location and obviously will choose the lowest.

I'd love to see someone come up with a solution (for ccbill) though

I don't know the inner workings of ccBills paysite admin.

Is it possible to setup different sub-accounts(North America, European, etc.) for the same site using different price points, and then geo-ip route the surfer to the appropiate sub-account?|confused|

you just have to specify the allowedTypes variable to include only the pricing options you want to use. so you'd just have to populate that with the pricing options you want to use for X country. it should look something like this in your code.

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden" name="allowedTypes" value="0000014114:840,0000041253:840,0000041254:840,0000037618:840">
