I just looked at both Nikro and your store there...
They're ok for how you use them as I presume they are the processor for all the stores in that group, almost like an avs processor.
I'd be wary of using them for a pay site as they don't seem to have an EU presence to be able to accept Visa for a UK based site. CCBill have an EU company and pay out weekly. Nikro pay out only twice a month. Their wire fee of $50 is very high and CCBill CCBill charge me $15. The most I've paid for a wire from the states is $27. Also. they have a $100 minimum pay out
Their descending % starting at 15% is the norm for US based where CCBill do charge us in the EU 16%.
Can you tell me why Nikro's $750 set up fee is optional ? Is this to do with accepting Visa, as this is what Visa USA charge US based webmasters have to pay to accept the card.
Sorry if I seem cynical, but with IBill having major problems at the moment, thank god I don't use them, I and I'm sure other wm's are looking at processors who are not well known very carefully. Remember in the last year or so some major US based processors like Globill closed down over night...
By the way, I'm wary of even Verotel ,as to accept Visa, the processor and the webmaster must both be based in the same part of the world/country.
Can you find out if Nikro's merchant bank is "First Data" ? This is the US bank who caused Paycom/Epoch to move from them and who have created IBill's problems. They do not want to process for anyone involved in the adult biz and so could cut off Nikro as they did IBill and leave a lot of people without money for quite a while.
