Just like any other business, payment service providers seek to increase profits and reduce cost. If you are going to create a new company to provide online payment acceptance and processing service, you will surely be delighted to reduce the initial cost of the technical basis, i.e. of the processing system.
If your payment service already offers these services, you will definitely be interested in reducing the current expenses on maintenance and development. We are sure you have a good reason to do so.
The processing system software is the most expensive part of the preparations for the launch of the online payment acceptance and processing service.
It does not matter, whether you hire highly skilled and experienced programmers who create the software for your company, outsource the work, or buy a ready-made licensed copy. In any case, your expenses on the acquisition of the necessary software will amount to a six-figure sum in euros.
As compared to the cost of the processing system development or support, the cost of servers and network configuration is quite benign at about 4,000 euros.
An experienced system administrator and the downpayment to rent specialized equipment from a hosting provider that meets PCI DSS requirements will cost you about the same 4,000 each. If for some reason you wish to purchase and use your own HW – the amount will be three to four times bigger.
To go through PCI DSS certification, which is indispensable for your billing service to have a right to work with the bank payment cards, will cost around 30,000 euros per year.
Keep in mind that this is just the initial monetary outlay for the payment service provider to set up and launch the processing system. Besides, you spend time and other resources to implement what you have in mind, and it all adds up. Therefore, the launch of a new processing service is quite costly.
Having an existing payment service also means having to pay regularly for the technical support of the business. A payment service provider should:
