Topic: Trialpay - alternate payment method

Hi,

(This post is directed at sijmen)

I think it would be a great idea if you use (As well as Paypal) Trialpay as a payment method. This means that people can buy it for free (Increasing your customers) But you still get the money.

This has been a savior for some indie software developers and has increased the amount of sales by the hundreds.

And also great for the customers too :)

Hope you will consider this!

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

Here's the deal:
If Dimp cost $A and TrialPay pays him $A (or more?), then it can easily be included in the payment methods.

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

well everyone would only use trialpay(probably)
what else would we need?
and with the added features and the freeness we would really beat pivot

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

Um... I'm not sure you can exclude primary payment methods (Credit Card, PayPal, etc.). But bringing forward TrialPay might prove beneficial. What's more, the more money Sijmen gets, the more he can invest in Dimp. wink

(You never know, if he gets enough he can hire a programmer to help him out = even more features.)

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

Mm, Trialpay definitely shouldn't be the only payment method. But it would be fantastic if it was a payment method smile

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

Do you use it a lot, or at all, as a payment method for online goods?

~ Sean

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

Oh yes, I've used it several times now. Has worked wonders smile

I wouldn't recommend it if I wasn't 100% sure it was safe and reliable smile

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

Thanks for the heads up! So do you have to purchase goods in order to be rewarded? I supposed you do, but it's like getting a discount (buy product A and get a "Gift-voucher" for product B).

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

No, what I've done is sign up for trial of something and then cancel the trial. I get all my money back and the product :) Everyone is happy that way except the people making the offers, who aren't very nice anyway :P

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

Ahahaha. Nice trick you have going. Here's the bottom-line: you get Dimp for free, Sijmen gets the price of Dimp + the promise of potentially higher prices. All-in-all, people who may not have bought Dimp can now use TrialPay to do so (legitimately or not). wink

Re: Trialpay - alternate payment method

Yup, win-win situation :D
