Accept CCBill
without building the integration
CCBill is a payment facilitator for subscription and high-risk businesses. Merchants are onboarded as sub-merchants under CCBill's own acquiring relationships rather than opening a direct merchant account, which is how it accepts verticals that mainstream processors commonly decline — dating, streaming media, content-creator platforms and adult among them. Its billing engine is built around recurring charges rather than one-off payments.

What is CCBill?
- Coverage
-
Card payments are accepted worldwide, but in a fixed set of currencies rather than a broad list, so the currency you can charge in matters more here than the country you sell into. ACH is the exception and is limited to the United States and some Canadian customers. Which businesses can onboard is decided by CCBill's own underwriting, which is where the high-risk vertical support actually lives.

CCBill fees and pricing
Two separate bills, and only one of them exists.
- What PaymentHood charges
- Nothing on your CCBill transactions. No percentage and no per-transaction cut, at any volume. Every payment feature is free, and the optional Premium plan only adds white-label checkout branding.
- What CCBill charges
- CCBill sets its own rates and bills you directly. PaymentHood never sits between you and that invoice, so switching to or from CCBill changes what you pay CCBill and nothing else.
- What moves the rate
- Payment providers price per market and per method rather than as a single global figure. It settles in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, and cross-currency transactions are not priced the same as domestic ones. It also accepts 4 different payment methods, and card, transfer and wallet rails each carry their own cost.
- Where to check the figure
- CCBill publishes current rates on their pricing page (opens in new tab). That is the authority, not this page. We deliberately quote no numbers here, because a rate that has quietly changed is worse than no rate at all.
How PaymentHood works with CCBill
A direct CCBill integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.
- Credentials
- CCBill FlexForms with a shared salt held server-side in PaymentHood and never exposed to the storefront — each redirect carries a form digest over the price, period and currency
- Webhook security
- CCBill signs its approval post with a digest over the subscription id and approval flag; PaymentHood recomputes it from the salt and rejects any webhook that fails a constant-time comparison
- Payment verification
- CCBill FlexForms has no fetch-by-reference API, so the digest-verified webhook is the authorisation — there is no polling fallback, and a webhook that fails verification never reaches fulfilment
- Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
- Automatic failover to another configured provider when CCBill is unreachable
- One reconciliation view across CCBill and every other provider you run
- Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
- Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
