Payment security should be one of the most important aspects of e-commerce sites. If your site starts leaking credit card numbers, processors can often times charge you for each credit card number that was leaked. This can get expensive very quickly. At the same time keeping up with PCI compliance can be expensive as well since some packages are patched on a weekly basis. That is why we have decided to partner with CloudSwipe to bring easier PCI compliance to our merchants. Along with bringing easier PCI compliance, they also broaden the number of payment gateways that work with thirty bees dramatically. CloudSwipe is compatible with over 173 gateways currently, with more being added soon.

CloudSwipe supports some of the most popular gateways around the world, in the most secure method possible. The gateways that they support give shops in almost every country access to payment methods that will work for their shops. You can view the full list of supported gateways here.

Interesting, I hadn’t heard of Cloudswipe before now. Looks amazing at such a low price.
Do you know if the credit card acquirers in general will take higher or lower fees for a merchant making a deal through Cloudswipe, like if Cloudswipe have some volume deals with some acquirers?
Or is the deal between acquirer and merchant something Cloudswipe wants to stay completely out of?
I am not sure, it would seem reasonable that they would since you would be at less risk since you would be pci compliant.
