Any payment processing service with demo account?

[stenkross]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a payment processing service where it is possible to use a demo account?
The reson why I am asking is that I'm on a crusade to get businesses around where I live (Stockholm, Sweden) to accept bitcoin as payment, and I don't have a company of my own.

I do however need some sort of demo account on a payment service to be able to show this.

The requirements are simple:
- There should be no currency risk, ie: the business should get his money in swedish crowns (SEK).
- There risk of double spend should be taken care of by the payment service.
- Low fee would be nice.

Bitpay fulfills all those requirements, but they do not provide any demo account, nor are they interested in creating one.
Is there any other payment service that you know of that I can use?

I basically offer my free time to promote their service, so I'm kind of suprised that bitpay was not interested.

Well I think BIPS could work with you.

Can you define demo account in greater details? ( other than just creating an account for each of the businesses, and showing them their Mobile Checkout for instance )

- Low fee would be nice. Free for merchant and customer, if handled in Bitcoin

We are located in Denmark, so I believe 1-2 days bank transfer time to Sweden.

Yep, that mobile checkout is basically what I'm looking for, great!
I do have some more questions, see PM.

edit: what I mean with demo account is something I can show for the business owner, where I basically bring the hardware and show a sample buy.
I know two places where they are really annoyed by high commisions of VISA/Mastercard, so I figured those places can be a good start.

Happy I could help.

Demo account makes sense in that way, I would also find a suitable top banner for the business you are showing it to, like I did with Streckers cafe. And under "Account" set your Preferred currency to the currency the business will be using, SEK?

This way it will always select SEK when launching the "Mobile Checkout" and be ready for input in teams of sales.

Hidden feature:
If you are on a Apple device, iPad for instance, add the "Mobile Checkout" as a bookmark to your homescreen, this way when you click the icon, it will launch in fullscreen, similar to a native app.
