Merchant Services: Hosted E-Commerce

 Protexis

The Hosted E-commerce configuration provides publishers with a simple, cost-effective method for converting trials to sales for only 8%-12% of gross product sales revenue. It has been specifically designed for publishers that:

  • Have trial version products; and
  • Have hosted, full version products or trial products that can be unlocked; and
  • Need e-commerce capabilities to convert trials to sales

The Hosted E-commerce configuration comes complete with all of the standard payment processing features as the other configurations and offers these core benefits:

  • Convert trial users into paying customers through a simple, branded purchase process
  • Use your own pre-generated serial numbers or have serial numbers generated for you
  • Reduce business risk by outsourcing fraud, refund, and chargeback processing
  • Improve sales conversion by accepting over 50 global payment types
  • Increase purchases by linking to a customized and branded payment page from anywhere your product is sold online

We realize that picking an ecommerce solution takes serious consideration, and understanding how each configuration works is an important part of that decision. Listed below is an overview of how our basic transaction process works.

  • Follow the step-by-step instructions on Upload.com to enable your product
  • We then provide a hosted, custom payment page that processes credit card transactions and distributes serial numbers to customers as needed
  • When customers buy a product, they are redirected to the full version of the product for download and supplied a serial number, if applicable
  • You receive real-time purchase confirmations allowing you to generate unlock codes or complete other post-purchase fulfillment processes as necessary
  • Each month, you will receive a check for all sales revenue less the Merchant Services fee
