Frequently Asked Questions

What is Alternative Billing?

An Alternative payment is a payment method other than the usage of the traditional credit card. Alternative payments are just as popular as credit card payments. However, not everyone has a credit card or likes to use them online. Especially outside the United States, credit card coverage is as low as 10% and is certainly not a widespread payment method.

Consumers outside the United States like to pay with their well-established local payment methods or with those methods that they are accustomed to. EuroDebit ® offers merchants a variety of payment methods that will limit the exposure and risks involved in providing services online to customers worldwide.

What documents do you require from me to setup my account?

Documentation needed varies by client type. If you are signing up as an individual, you only need to provide your passport and a copy of a utility bill. If you are signing up as an incorperation, you need to supply a passport or ID of the contract owner and any signatories, incorperation papers including shareholders, and a voided check (optional - if your bank does not issue checks).

How much can I expect my sales to increase with your services?

Actual increase varies largely on how well you target your alternative markets. It is not uncommon for us to see our clients experience a 30% or more increase in their sales from before setting up alternative payment types!

Are there any setup fees?

Our standard setup does not require any setup fees! Some special setup types may require small fees, but such instances are rare, and for most of our clients these setup fees do not apply. Such fees only apply for services such as Virtual Terminal, batch transaction processing, and installation of MIVA shopping cart software.
