Take the Pepsi™ challenge with us, compare and contrast Crowne Gold’s online payment processing with several popular Internet Credit Card Merchant accounts. Below are a few comparisons between the fees & benefits of digital gold.

Credit Card Fraud & Chargebacks? All credit card accounts expose the merchant to ‘chargebacks’.

A chargeback is a forced refund from a customer’s credit card company. It occurs when a cardholder decides to formally dispute a charge on his/her credit card bill, often because of someone fraudulently used that card number. According to credit card associations rules, Internet merchants must accept credit card fraud as part of the normal risk of doing business on the Internet. The amount of credit card fraud highly depends on your business nature. To reduce chargebacks, try to collect as much information as possible from your customer, and perform a phone order confirmation. If the order is found to be valid, then proceed with the order. A chargeback fee is a penalty fee that passes on to the merchant. *GSPAY

Because with digital gold there are no chargebacks, these accounts also never require any reserve funds to be withheld from the merchant payout.

Rolling Reserve. More good news from the Credit Card Companies:

“…we deduct 5-10% (depends on business type) for holdback fund. Holdback fund returned to you within 6 months. Typical holdback is 5-10% for 180 days. Once the 180 days has expired, the funds will be released back to your account. The fund is calculated and withheld for every payout period.” *http://www.gspay.com

As retail customers buy items with using credit cards, the merchant places a fund hold or restriction for the purchase amount required to complete the charge, “…preauthorized amount reserved against the credit limit of the customer’s card will remain for a predefined period of time until it expires. This time period varies with all card-issuing banks and you will need to contact them directly to find out what their hold times are.” This activity is simply NOT possible with any Digital Gold account. There are never restrictions on the value in a Digital Gold account and no merchant could ever gain control over any portion of customers account. This is simply NOT possible.

Since all Digital Gold transactions are settled immediately, 100% of all transaction value is immediately available to the Crowne Gold Account holder (the merchant). There is no reason to have a ‘reserve’ account (No chargebacks mean no fraud)

High Risk Accounts

“Certain business types may be excluded from the rates shown on this page.” *http://www.goemerchant.com

The discount rate is the percentage of each transaction that the credit card processing company charges to complete your customer’s transaction. High risk businesses may have to pay much higher rates. Digital Gold companies such as Crowne Gold do not differentiate between adult products, online gambling or bible sales. The Digital Gold company’s fee structure is the same for each account and high risk businesses are generally welcome.

Cleared Funds

With credit card merchant accounts, you will find lots of statements like this one, “Credit Card funds are automatically deposited into your US merchant bank account within days generally 48-72 hours.” However, some CC companies will take up to 45 days for charges to appear as cash in the merchant’s account.

Digital Gold is available instantly with each transaction. There is no waiting, clearing or additional processing. All paid funds are cleared funds! No credit or borrowing can be accomplished using Crowne Gold.

We Googled “online merchant account” plus “high risk merchant account” and found these popular Merchant Account options in the first couple of result pages.

(see chart-01)

  • Credit Card Transaction Fee – The fee charged by the payment gateway for each credit card transaction and for each batch settlement processed for the account. The credit card transaction types that the per-transaction fee is charged for include: authorizations, captures, refunds, and declines.

(see chart-02)

  • Gateway Monthly Fee – The monthly fee charged for a payment gateway account.

(see chart-03)

Using a Digital Gold account, there is no ‘Gateway’ and consequently, there is never Gateway fee. Also, all credit card transactions charge, on top of their Discount Rate, an additional per transaction fee on ALL transactions even if a sale was not completed you are still required to pay this fee.

We found a common statement on most credit card merchant web sites similar to this one, “…can only process transactions in US Dollars, and we do not facilitate any currency conversions.”
