Which payment provider do you recommend?

[charleskirkland]

I have never used Google Checkout.

But do you know of anybody who has? And if so what was there thoughts about it?

I have never used google checkout, but everyone I know who has say they like it. The only problem is people paying must also have a google checkout account or they must create one.

I am also thinking about betting my own merchant account, I looked at powerpay but they dont have their fees posted. I dont know why it seems like 75% of merchant services dont. Charles, are you using it with Authorize.net?

I don’t really like 2checkout, I don’t really like the interface or the checkout.

A few months ago their checkout pages and procedure was horrible, but they have changed it and it is much more streamlined now. Although not even close to the easy checkout of clickbank.

Regarding clickbank: you could use it for payment processing while at the same time building your own affiliate list using an affiliate software.

I use JVManager/Fantasos for my sales process and affiliate management and use 2CO, paypal and clickbank as payment processors.

I'm using Authorize.net on a few of my sites and I love it. The fees are so small next to clickbank and most others.

As far as the fees from PowerPay I'm thinking there is none. I do have to pay for the gateway fees and some others but it is less then $70 per month so it is a really deal for me.

Thanks

Many choose ClickBank for low ticket digital products simply due to it's simplicity ... though they are neither cheap nor perfect. Same with PayDotCom.

Paypal as a processor is fine for single tier promotions that are free from any red flags that might trigger a freeze ... once again, not cheap nor perfect ... but so easy.

aMember is cool membership software, IMHO ... List Virus ... Butterfly script (w/ Becky Dielman's mod) ... Rapid Action Profits ... Fantasos

Fellow JVNP partner Egidijus runs www.Click2Sell.EU ... has anyone tried it here? ... how about www.paysimple.com/ ?

1SC is obviously a choice, though their autoresponder and affiliate modules leave much to be desired ... GoldBar One is a worthy alternative.

Frank Kern, Yanik Silver, Jeff Walker, Mark Joyner and others of repute count on Paul Galloway and his Synergyx script ... sometimes in conjunction with 1SC and AWeber.

I've always liked Ultimate Affiliate ... though it has not been updated in years. Jeremy and Simon of Marketing Main Event have a modified version of it I like.

Enough rambling ..

Best,

Mike

I set up a Click2Sell.eu account just to test it out. Its very much like paydotcom but you can ad several different payment processors. You can sell with paypal, moneybookers, authorize.net worldpay and their may be a couple more.

On the down side I didn’t like how you could only contact your affiliates one by one, but I guess that’s better then clickbank that offers no contact at all. Their site also looked incomplete. Several pages were messed up looking with text outside the boarders, etc. I figured if design has flaws perhaps the program does as well. I didn’t really want to be one of the original testers so I decided not to use them.

Has anybody used Launch Formula Marketing ?

I've heard good things about it, but I'm not sure how the payment is taken? Does it interface with paypal or do you need a merchant account or something?

I spent a weekend with Robert back in January of this year and from what he told me it takes paypal, clickbank, anthrize.net.

I know the people that do have it love it.

Thanks

Charles,

I think I've got this right......?

Launch Formula Marketing is a great tool for tracking JV partners / Affiliate sales etc, but when it comes to actually collecting the money from the customer then I have a free range:

Paypal / CB / Authorize.net / 2checkout

I think CB may not authorize my next product as its all about list building (so I'm told), so I'm looking for a recommended merchant provider.

I have experience of Paypal and 2checkout.

What's Authorize.net like?

...or any others?

[charleskirkland]

I love authrize.net I got my account setup through paypay.biz, they took care of all the paper and setup for free. So I was happy about that.

The only thing I don't like is that PowerPay requires that I have my phone number on the site. I like to handle things through email but that is just a samll trade off.
