I've been searching for the best independent merchant account providers for VR owners so that I can integrate them into the management tools. I believe that I have found the best solution and you can see how I got there by taking a look at the comparisons page - this shows how Costco, PayPal Virtual Terminal and ProPay solutions all compare.

NOTE that HomwAway provides Credit Card payments for those that list with them at a 2.5% transaction charge and no other fees (except listing fees). This is a good deal if you think you will always list with HomeAway and pay (their ever-increasing) listing fees.

You'll see that eCom at +1 888.277.3332 (the MyVRZone Preferred Provider) offers the lowest cost solution for most monthly transaction amounts - here are the benefits of using them through MyVRZone:

1. Low Rates, lowest Total Cost of Ownership for most people
2. No setup/up-front fees
3. Month-to-month contract, 30-day cancellation
4. No minimum monthly transaction fees
5. $15 per month fixed fee + per transaction fees
6. Free VR-centric online payments page (that can be embedded in your own site if you want to)
7. As of Feb09:
   $9.95 per month PCI Compliance fee - mandatory for VISA & Mastercard. Check and compare rates with other vendors as they will all need to ensure compliance soon.

For Gold/Platinum Plan subscribers using the Guest Zone, each payment is recorded with the reservation (where you can void/refund them directly), the amount due is inserted automatically and the guest contact information is pre-filled.

For anyone thinking of doing this, this solution provides the cheapest and lowest risk option that I could find. Try it for a few months to see if it works for you without having to risk losing any up-front payment.

All users (including the FREE Silver Plan†) can offer online payments though MyVRZone's preferred provider. Existing MyVRZone users can request more information here. If you don't have an account with us then register for one first and then apply - there's no cost and no obligation.

† FREE Silver Plan users must sign up for the MyVRZone preferred provider from within your account to enable online payments in the Guest Zone.
