Donation Payment methods expanding
Posted: 06 Aug 2011, 22:04
Due to constant interest from players, many questions regarding such, I'm currently investing time in looking into expanding our payment selections.
Right now I am in the process of integrating AlertPay alongside Paypal. We have to wait several days to be approved, as well as waiting for them to validate my information. But AlertPay from what I've been noticing so far looks great. In ways I feel like they are easier to use than Paypal... So if you want, go ahead and make an account there or something.
I've sent in a request several days ago on Boku.com to be considered to offer SMS payments. They will take about 2 weeks before I hear back and if I get declined... well they seemed to be the only good SMS payment service provider around :/. If we do get to offer SMS donations in the future, they will be about an addition 30-45% of the normal price. Why? Because carriers (AT&T, Verizon, vodafone, o2, etc.) charge a very large transaction fee with mobile payments. Always have, so we will still get the normal price, but have to mark it up due to their transaction fees.
As for Paysafecard, as someone suggested to me, they look interesting, however difficult to get considered to become what they call a "partner." Not sure if I am interested in that.
