Leveraging Technology

Like most of you, I use MS Word and Excel from time to time. I suspect that many of you, like me, do not use this software to its full capability when compiling a letter or spreadsheet.

Ditto TV remote controls. I have just counted 41 buttons on mine, of which only a fraction are used on a regular basis.

Whilst not fully exploiting the USP’s of all this Über-technology poses no real problems in our private lives, when not correctly implemented in our business ones it can cost us hard cold cash.

An example of this is our powerful geo-targeted technology which communicates with the surfer in their own language. There are several ways that this technology can be implemented so as to aid webmasters in their globalisation efforts.

For example, there are our geo-IP payment buttons that we have painstakingly translated into 37 languages. Customers who call for a Password are also greeted in their own native language, oftentimes by a well known celebrity in their home country.

Since surfers do not usually surf join pages, such technology makes an even greater impact during the sales process. After all, a surfer from Japan will be pleased to see anything in Japanese.

To this end, we have made our database of JavaScript driven phrases such as "free galleries" available to all our partners for use on their websites.

This way, webmasters can ‘internationalise’ all their traffic galvanising tools such as tours and TGP/MGP galleries. Surfers seeking out free porn will be pleasantly surprised to be pitched in a language they understand – theirs.

As a processor, we need to help capitalize on two of the two most vital ingredients needed for success in this business – traffic and compelling content; something that our partners have, often in abundance.

Although pay-per-call billing is not recurring by default, properly implemented, it is a great repeat business both now and for years to come. A little time spent on correct implementation and optimisation now will be well worth it.

Not figuring out all features of your TV’s remote maybe excusable. Failing to capitalise on those of your processor is not. The expertise of our experienced Tech Support and Sales Team which includes industry veteran Mike B. will be available to all new and existing customers to optimize their global billing strategy.

Building Sustainable Revenue Without Opt-Out Cross-Sales

Over the past year, we’ve seen growing pushback from acquirers on merchants using opt-out cross-sales — also known as negative option offers. This has been especially noticeable in the U.S. In fact, one of our acquirers now declines new merchants during onboarding if an opt-out flow is detected. Existing merchants submitting new URLs with opt-out cross-sales are being asked to remove them.

How to Handle Payment Disputes Without Sacrificing Trust

You can run the best-managed and most compliant website out there, but that still doesn’t completely shield you from the risks tied to payment disputes. Buyer’s remorse, an unclear billing description or even a simple misunderstanding can lead a customer to dispute a transaction. Accumulate enough disputes, and both your reputation and revenue could be at risk.

How to Switch Payment Processors Without Disrupting Business

For many merchants, the idea of switching payment processors can feel pretty overwhelming. That’s understandable.
