Realtime
sales. The merchant process
most credit cards in real-time.
Some people have Internet access but feel uneasy giving their credit
card details online. Instead of giving their credit card they place the
order online but complete it by either printing out a form and adding their card number and faxing it toll free, or
else calling one of the toll free phone numbers in 16 countries
and advising of their order number and credit card number.

Electronic
delivery
of files or keycodes
(or both). There are three ways of selling
(i) The merchant makes the
sale and simply notify you all the details a few seconds after.
(ii) The merchant make the
sale and deliver a licensed file - the download link is emailed to
the customer immediately after the sale.
(iii) The merchant make the
sale and send an email with a keycode (and/or a download file).
Keycodes
can be either linked to a cgi engine on our or your server or simply
be a list of valid codes uploaded to us. Or it can be one number fits
all. We also have a way for you to issue a temporary code then we
automatically send a valid full keycode after X days (you decide how
many). This is useful where your product suffers from fraud attempts
and gives you time to verify or refund order-
Recurring
transactions. Easy to
use control panel that lets you handle subscriptions, etc.
Look
and Feel
- The merchant have a very simple to use menu-driven ordering system but if you
require more control, the optional Super Advanced Level at no extra
charge enables you to keep all ordering and result pages on your own
website - the customer need never even visit the merchants website. You collect
all the order details and send them to the merchant in a defined manner and
they
process them automatically and instantly. Great for Foreign Language
ordering environment, Upselling, and recurring charges like
Subscriptions - it can take minutes to set your system up with Super
Advanced Level. Example websites available to study.
You can also make
the ordering pages on our server look and feel like your own website
using templates.

that the customer selects each time he enters the store. The prices
shown in USD, GBP or Euro are the exact prices that will appear on
the customer's credit card statement (except Diners, Switch or Solo

The merchant
have sophisticated techniques for
reducing
fraud -
they are not 100% there yet but getting close. The merchant do reserve the right
to issue refunds where have identified fraud. If the customer
denies the charge and the
merchant cannot prove supply, or if there was a fraud
and the bank chargeback to the
merchant, they will do a refund but not penalise
you with any chargeback fees although you will lose commission on chargebacks (not refunds).
In May 2003 we
expect to move to Verified by Visa and the Mastercard equivalent that
will mean that even if you suffer a fraudulent order using Visa or
MasterCard you will usually be able to keep the money

This is true! On other online registration services the transaction
simply appears to have failed if the card issuing bank requires a
person call the authorisation centre or if the merchant's bank and
the card issuing bank get a communications failure (can happen in the
run up to Christmas). - Our system explains what has happened, to the
customer, and invites him/her to either try another card or click a
link to get us to manually obtain authorisation for the card
concerned. We find that an amazing 15% or so of orders fail this way
so think how may lost orders we could save for you and what money
that translates into. We also show a list of all failed orders for
you to see so you can contact the customer if you like and find out
what happened - we are fully transparent. 5% of orders have an
invalid expiry date. The bank gives a failure message but our system
analyses the message and invites the customer to correct the date (we
only allow this 3 times for security reasons)
-
would you have lost that sale if using one of our competitors?
Each account
costs a flat rate of $20 or £15 a month on top of the discount the
merchant keep (1$ + 4%).
For low volume sellers there is a plan that does not require a $20 fee
and instead charges you a flat 9.9% (USD) or 15% (GBP) account
this is also possible. With this discount rate
you are charged whatever it costs to pay you at cost. (i.e up to $30 for
a US dollar wire payment), USD check costs $5, GBP cheque costs $5 but
all other methods like BACS, ACH and Paypal are free.
NOT
ACCEPTED:
adult, email
harvesters, bulk emailers, mailing lists, cybercafe software, on-line
pharmacies, webhosting
and related services, as well as all
products that are likely to assist email spammers.
These products attract fraudsters. If we find you sell one and it
suffers frauds we will refund all the customers and delete the product
without warning
