I Made $40 In A Few Minutes With AlertPay

I got my first AlertPay payment today. You will notice that the fees are less than PayPal. It was worth it to take a few minutes to register back then to get the free AlertPay Premium account and it's a nice alternative with lesser fees. The product below was only accepting both of these payment processors

With AlertPay

Income 4 Beginners Payments

With PayPal

Income 4 Beginners Payments

The difference is not huge but in some case, the PayPal fees could be $1.86 when Seller Protection Policy is Ineligible. I don't know what would be the equivalent with AlertPay but I guest it would also be lower.

It's like having an extra $0.21 ad click. It takes cents to make a dollar and it add up at the end of the year. That's why I accept it on 1 Cool File, TrustURL or with my software AuctionSiteWriter. Don't get me wrong, PayPal is still the most popular way on the Internet but it's not available everywhere in the world. AlertPay covers more countries and more companies are paying their affiliates with it since PayPal made a rule change.

In a sense, by taking a few minutes to setup my AlertPay Premium account, I made an extra sale that I would otherwise would not had made.


Will you create or do you have an AlertPay Premium account? It's free anyway and a PayPal backup!

Income 4 Beginners Payments

Edit 2008/01/08: I got my second AlertPay payment a few days later thus making $80. :D

Edit 2008/02/14:: Thanks for Mike to point it out, AlertPay was mentioned on CNN

Edit 2008/07/01:: I added AuctionSiteWriter

Edit 2008/07/14: A client wanted to buy AuctionSiteWriter and pay with PayPal since yesterday. But for some weird reasons, he could not even after speaking with PayPal support(browser issue they mentioned). So, he opened an AlertPay instead to pay me. The backup account goes both ways.

      Thanks Mike. When CNN do a round up about PayPal alternatives and AlertPay is in there, then it is a good thing for them.

      I’ve opened an AlertPay account today…there was a little snafu with authorization link they sent to me as it didn’t work. Then their support staff responded to my request for a new one…as of yet I’ve not recv’d that email. I do suspect it will come shortly. Then we’ll add it to the corporate site at http://www.fusedlogic.com as we’ll be adding some very exciting original products for download there…very cool stuff. Not the usual affliliate run on forever sales letter stuff we all I think are a bit tired of….

      They have a refferal program $5 for each ref.
      will they pay for us just reffering a person or ?

    11. Steve McGrath said:

      In theory, yes!

      Now, I did not talked about that before. I referred a few to them but people must transact $250 before you get the $5(no date limit). I see it has a backup first and a way to collect money. If I ever get the $5, then I will be happy. On that note, you can use it on my sites. Doing my small part. ;)

      Alert pay has few major issues. See what happened to me:
      I used it to pay to a merchant a $15.00 amount.
      Alert pay puts a Cash Advance type of transaction to my credit card.
      The bank charge me $10.00 fee as the transaction type is cash advance.
      When i contact alert pay, they say, they know the problem, but they cannot do any thing to it.

      Do NOT use alertypay unless they resolve these issues. Else you will be charged by your card company for reason hard to understand.
