Looking for a product that will bill my clients automatically, etc and found this solution.. which I think looks pretty nice:

Only problem is that you have to have a US bank account to get paid from Rackspace. Anybody know of something similar that would work in Canada or with a PayPal account?
I used the "Filter" but couldn't find any substantial information.
Any of you currently doing this for clients? I basically want to just punch in their CC number (or have the client do it themselves) and sit back and collect the cash.

Hilarious/unfortunate amount of laziness in today's society...

Do I think it's lazy? Yes.
Do I care? No.
Why? Because if the product allows you to do it, why wouldn't you? I host tons of websites for clients, but one of the hardest parts to get right is the automated billing. This product from Rackspace has it built in and ready to go. Any of you ever used Campaign Monitor? It's basically the same laziness in my opinion.I'm just wondering if there's a similar product out there that doesn't require you to be a US citizen.
- fair enough bmacneill! admittance of laziness was all i was hoping for! ; )ideaist
- if all else fails, you might consider opening a us bank account?bigtrickagain
- Their seems to be no Canadian alternatives... Perhaps build one and prove how lazy you are not?! ; )ideaist
- Fortune favours the bold bmacneill... Make it happen...ideaist
- Yeah, ok. I'll build my own service similar to Rackspace Cloud. Good one!bmacneill
- Their's that laziness striking down what could be a lucrative idea...ideaist

@bigtrickagain - yes.. opening a US account is an option. Was hoping to find something that uses PayPal or would accept a Canadian account.

That Rackspace thing looks pretty sweet.
Most Canadian banks offer US Dollar accounts. I don't know if that qualifies as the same thing.

paypal is fucking evil, never use paypal for a business. opening a us bank account is pretty trivial for a canadian citizen, you just need two forms of ID.
