January 11, 2004 - New processor
As of January 2004, we have moved our primary processing to Verotel in the EU region.
This was done due to the high "scrub" rates by the US processing companies and has resulted in increased sales. January 22, 2005 - Multiple Currencies We have added multiple currency processing for credit cards.
USD, EUR, GBP, NOK, SEK, DKK, CAD, CHF.
Now allowing higher profits from the strength of the EU and better value for others,
such as Canadians. February, 2005 - More Payment Option
Online check, Direct debit, 1-900 billing now added for US customers.
March 25, 2005 Asian credit cards added making higher conversions for webmasters.
June, 2005 1-900 billing europe added making higher conversions for webmasters.
September 5, 2005 SMS billing - SMS cascade billing when Credit Card or Direct Debit fails
means extra $$$ in your pocket.
April, 2006 Maestro Debit: We are working closely with our acquirers to present you the ability to charge
Meastro cards in April of 2006. Maestro is emerging as a dominant debit player in Europe
(comparable to USA ATM card with Mastercard logo). Endusers will be able to pay online with their ATM pin.
Direct debit transactions with pin are of course less susceptible to fraud and chargebacks which is always welcome.
May, 2006 Solo / Carte Blue: We are seeking to add this UK and French payment option to the payment platform
to offer endusers additional ways to pay for online content.
June, 2006 Processing Infrastructure: In 2005, we invested heavily in redundant systems to ensure that transaction processing
would be up and running as much as possible. We will continue to improve on this in 2006 with additional redundant internet
connections that provide better connectivity (through improved peering) ensuring that all end-users have quick response times from
the order pages. Most of this work will happen behind the scenes, but you will see improved order page response times this year!
This effort is made in combination with additional security measures to protect our network against outside intrusion and DDOS attacks.
July, 2006 Verotel Glue: Verotel Glue will allow an end-user to renew his membership at a discounted rate at the point of
cancellation by offering him/her a discount for staying on as a member.
This feature will increase the average duration of a membership and thus the bottomline of most web-masters.
This customer retention feature will reduce your total number of cancellations and improve your profitability.
August, 2006 Streamlined Order Pages: This project includes not only the look and feel of the order pages,
but the technology and scripts behind the order process. Optimization of both these areas should result in fewer errors during
the signup process and increased sales!
September, 2006 3-D Secure / Verified by Visa: Verotel is developing 3-D secure / Verified by Visa payment processing and will
roll out this service in Q1 of 2006. This technology will place the liability of a transaction back to the card holder and
the issuing bank if they are 'verified' The end result should be a dramatic decrease in chargebacks due to 'friendly' fraud and other
claims of 'I did not do that transaction"
