ru compatable with ccbill yet?

how about with verotel?

they've been writing to my ccbill password file since day 1

I love it when that happens

how exactly does it work?

If anyone has questions about how 123Bill works, or what our compatibility with affiliate programs are, feel free to drop me a note.... email is bill @ 123bill.com and icq in the siq! ;-)

On what site are you using it? I checked some affiliate websites,. and I did not notice it...

Or are you only using it after decline at ccbill?

Andre

I'm not using it on my affiliate tours yet; simply because I'm too lazy to write checks-lol.
It's working very well on the main tours though. One other thing- very few people are cancelling their membership when they pay this way, so the retention is nice, and more than pays for the service :-)
Here is one of the places that I am using it http://www.purefeet.com/join.html

Thnx

I guess I'll check it out, just cause you said so.

That is how a number of merchant's are using the service.... to pick up customers that would otherwise be lost because their CC was declined, or they can/will not use one....

123Bill is NOT a replacement for ANY of the CC processor's... its a supplement/alternate system, designed to earn merchant's money that would otherwise be lost....

As emma says...'Found Money' ;-)

123bill looks really kickass ;)

Thanks for the inquiries and emails folks.. looking forward to working with each of you! ;-)

Outta curiosity, do you have any statistical numbers from this? ex. 1 out of how many normal signups would be through 123bill?

Sweet congrats,

Out of curiosity - can you handle mainstream products?

I'm a little hesitant to offer up numbers, due to the fact that I run multiple tours on the same sub account, (for different traffic sources) and dont use 123 on all of them.

I just couldnt give accurate numbers...

I know our numbers, but have no idea how that reflects on total merchant transactions that do not go thru our system.....

We average just above 5% from what I've been told... some higher, some lower.

You bet! We can handle products of any type! We have merchants selling everything from phone sex to video's! ;-)

The only restriction at this point, is a shopping cart... we have not implemented an interface for that at this point, as there has not been a demand, and our focal point has been on membership based programs, because of the demand!

We sure do... and we can also process for phone sex, live web cams, anything you can think of. If it's legal and a good value to the consumer, we'll process for it.

To answer the question about 1 in how many sales would be 123bill, I'm not the guy to BS anybody about numbers.. What we are seeing so far is varied results at our merchants. Some promote more prominently than others, some have differences in the traffic makeup.

What we are definitely seeing across the board is that everyone is increasing sales, whether it's 1% more or 10% more, our goal is to add to your bottom line. Promoted properly, I believe merchants can conservatively add 3-5% to their gross sales. If you can't find something to do with the added margin, I'm sure your competitors can! lol

Time and volumes will give us more precise numbers. We've only been offering this commercially to merchants for the last two months. Once we have more volume under our belts and I can do what I feel is an adequate statistical analysis after processing tens of thousands of transactions, I'll share the facts as I see them. Since we're pioneering new territory, I believe it's prudent to be conservative every step of the way so we can educate merchants properly - for now and always.

The figures I am excited to share in "general" is that raw visits to our buy page convert into approved transactions at higher rates than what I have ever seen with credit card processing - double digit close rates. So, for those people that do click over to the "Instant Access, Discreet Bill By Mail" page from your site, many will become paying (and recurring!) customers.

It's very exciting to be a part of this, it truly feels like virgin territory and our team gets jazzed every day as the business continues to grow and our merchant base gets larger and larger. I really believe that this process will revolutionize online buying and the only question for those transacting business is will they add it now or later... either way, I expect to see everyone as customers eventually!

Cheers,

Brad
