Answers to Your Questions
Stripe vs. CardCorp - what’s the difference?
To accept card payments through BillPro you need a merchant account. You’ve got choices.
Stripe is the quickest way to get started. Create a Stripe account from the BillPro dashboard with just a few clicks. Your Stripe account setup is automatically reflected in your BillPro account setup so you can jump straight into taking payments.
But Stripe may not be right for every business. If your activity falls within what Stripe might consider an elevated risk category, eg. you take payments by phone, you sell goods or services for future delivery, or your business is regulated or operates in association with regulated activities, it may fall outside of Stripe’s eligibility criteria.
That’s where CardCorp comes in.
CardCorp merchant services partners with leading acquiring banks in the EU and UK to provide robust and durable merchant account solutions to business of all types and sizes. All CardCorp providers are licensed financial institutions and principal members of Visa and MasterCard. CardCorp’s clients include call centres, subscription and membership billers, travel and accommodation providers, and a range of regulated and higher-risk businesses such as financial services providers, insurance brokers, debt collection agencies, pharmacies and telemedicine services providers and more.
BillPro partners with CardCorp to offer their merchant placement service to BillPro merchants that may not be eligible or choose not to use Stripe. BillPro is integrated with all CardCorp providers, so when your new merchant account is ready, CardCorp can share details with BillPro to configure your BillPro account in minutes.
If you opt for CardCorp’s service, their onboarding team will place your business with a merchant account provider that is well-matched to suit your profile and requirements. CardCorp’s services are compensated under reseller agreements with their merchant account providers, and there are no additional fees for CardCorp’s services. You will contract with your appointed merchant account provider directly and they will settle funds to your designated bank account.
