davidpaj Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Did anyone get a notice today from 2checkout that web hosting is now considered a cyber locker business and they wil no longer serve us? I can post the notice from them if need be. I thought 2checkout and whmcs were partners, which is why I signed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsoft Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Got a similar one here... It was a pleasure to speak with you today. As discussed, due to a change in card brand rules and requirements, we are no longer supporting businesses that involve archival file storage, file transfer, or file sharing. This includes businesses such as yours that either facilitate the transfer or storage of large files, or distribute files via download or “streaming” playback. Please accept my apologies for any disappointment this may present to you. As a result of this change, your 2Checkout merchant account will be closed on September 15, 2015. To help you avoid disruption to your business, you may wish to visit Allied Wallet's website to apply for a merchant account. Funny thing is that there are no such Visa or Masercard regulations - if there were, it would mean that no hosting company can accept Visa or Mastercard online, which is ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that there are no such Visa or Masercard regulations - if there were, it would mean that no hosting company can accept Visa or Mastercard online, which is ridiculous. I don't know the case here though I am sure they could apply such restrictions on any authorised company (instead of globally) for example, if they're getting to many chargebacks from this industry via 2co. They could have put enough pressure to stop their partnerships (which would cause issues for the majority of their client base) which led to this decision. I know one UK based payment processor who had restrictions specifically applied to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsoft Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 May be it's only them who got this restriction... Anyway, 2Checkout is not an option for hosting providers anymore. I've also tried contacting the company they suggested, AlliedWalled, they also told me that they are not going to work with hosting business: We regret to inform you that Allied Wallet cannot process for this account. The website/business practice has fallen outside the parameters for acceptable risk for our banking partners. Their risk department seems to be overcautious. Our business has had only 2 chargebacks out of thousands of transactions... If this is too risky, then I don't know what kind of business they're going to work with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openIcarus-William Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This is very disturbing. We have an account with 2CheckOut and I have not received this email but I'm afraid we might. Maybe it'd be a good idea to contact the account manager? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyhosting Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I thought 2checkout and whmcs were partners, which is why I signed up. It has nothing to do with WHMCS, it seems 2Co will no longer deal with cyberlocker service businesses. A file hosting service, cloud storage service, online file storage provider, or cyberlocker is an Internet hosting service specifically designed to host user files. It allows users to upload files that could then be accessed over the internet from a different computer, tablet, smart phone or other networked device, by the same user or possibly by other users, after a password or other authentication is provided. Typically, the services allow HTTP access, and sometimes FTP access. Related services are content-displaying hosting services (i.e. video and image), virtual storage, and remote backup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that chargeback ratio it most likely isn't your account specifically but the industry. This industry does see a lot of charge backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it involved Visa and Mastercard, and it was excessive chargebacks due to the hosting industry, then the restrictions would be placed on all payment providers who deal with web hosts. It will be an internal decision by 2Co and they will be just bringing Visa and Mastercard into the mix so it makes them look like a victim 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Amr) Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 They did the same to us, back in 2013, and after 10 years of doing business with them. It's totally an internal decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavandBros Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 We haven't received such message from them yet. Although we really like their "Fraud Detection" service. I think for now PayPal is the one to go mostly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
