View Full Version : Private Label Transaction for Revecom

I know many WHT friends are using Revecom but do not like the interface style like this:

e.g. (for ref. only)
"PaySystems.com, Inc. is the authorized sales agent for YourCompanyName......."

Anybody knows is there any available scripts which can replace the one used by the Revecom. Maybe you need it too, I think.

Although you use a script to private label Revecom, but on the client's CC bill will still state $$$ to PaySystems.


PaySystems = Revecom

We were using our own forms for Revecom a while ago to get rid of those ghastly forms. We then got an -email from them saying it was against the rules to do so and we *had* to use them - so we removed them and went back to linking through their server via the *ugly* end.

The API was supposed to fix this - the API never happened...

Hi, akashik,
Maybe we have to register (own form) a new domain and selling the same hosting packages, than register (revecom form) the new clients to your current domain.

e.g. same company but different domain, must be yourname.com and yourname.net

Do u agree?

Not sure I get it, but let me see if I understand..

You mean get customers to sign up via a form on your website that sends the details to you, then go to the revecom forms with that information and sign them up yourself?

If so, you'll find two things.. One, it's a felony to enter someone else's credit card details, and secondly the AVS check will flag the transaction if the address on the card doesn't match the IP address the submission is coming from...

Believe me I've tried to think of a good way to get around having to use those forms in a legal way, but it appears there's isn't one (at least that I can find).

I'm looking at Planet Payment at the moment as an alternative. :)

Yes, you got what I meant and I agreed with your views.

I just looked at Revecom (TPP-Sale), and it seems a difficult system to use if you hava a combination of DNRegistration/Hosting products to offer.
For example, if you offer Registration Only, Registration + Hosting (with various plans and terms), DN Transfer+ Hosting, Hosting alone, etc, how do you set it up in an easy format to the client?
Any pointers/suggestions are appreciated
Thanks
Antonio

Currently Revecom users are facing the same problems, the following is one of the solutions (suggestion):

1. Write a form file which contains all of your sales info.
2. When user make an order, the form will collect user's order info. e.g. DNReg / DNReg+Hosting / Payment Terms etc.
3. The form than identify the inquiry and call your related Revecom sales link.

Regards.

I am interested in signing up with Revecom too and was reading their faq(http://www.revecom.com/faq/index.htm#250). In it they said:

What will be the name of the merchant on my customers' credit card statements?

Initially, all charges will appear as PaySystems.com, Inc. About 25-35 days following account activation, we will issue your personal MID and TID. Charges will then appear as YOUR COMPANY NAME by PaySystems.com.

Are you guys saying that when charges appear they still state PaySystems.com instead of YourSite ?

Also, with their system can I specify different levels of recurring billing like annual customers vs. monthly customers? I'm offering a discount for people who sign up for one year over those who go month-to-month.

Thanks!

Yes, u can create monthly, 45 days ... yearly as you like.

Say you have a plan that costs X amount of dollars per month, but there's a discount for 3,6, and 12 month signups. What you do (at least what we did), is set up each plan in a catalog of it's own then go through 4 versions of each plan correcting the price, and recurring period, then link to each one from your site (via drop down menus or buttons etc). Sounds like more work than it is really. It took me about 10 minutes to add the extra 3 plans to the first for each catalog.

The name change in their FAQ to your own seems to have been stopped now. The bill will appear at Paysystems.Inc from start to finish I think now.

Combination plans can be done the same as the above though if something has a different billing plan (ie a one time domain registration, and monthly recurring billing for hosting), you run into a bit of a snag...

I was also looking at instabill.com. They don't charge anything but have a high 10% per transaction fee, am I right? How do instabill compare with revecom?

Also, are there others you guys recommend?

Thanks!

You can also do the same thing with Instabill, You will also find that the Control Panel Instabill & Revecom using are almost the same (except the logo ... ). And the difference are the rate.

If you sell a products less than $17.00 Instabill will cost u less. But is the products you are selling are more than $17.00 Revecom is the better choice. You will know if you do the math.

ksstudio,
Could you explain mathematically how you came to that conclusion? I'm a bit confused at the moment by all the little details from Revecom and Instabill. I'm just afraid I'm forgetting to add in some cost that they've hidden away somewhere. Thanks!

As for Revecom, I emailed them and they confirmed that all client credit card bill statements will say PaySystems.com. I'm just wondering WHY they don't take that tidbit off their faq. Hmmm....

For $17 billing

Revecom charge: $1 + $17 x 0.0395 = 1.6715
Instabill charge: $17 x 0.10 = 1.7

If below $17, go for Instabill; if above, go for Revecom :D

:D You are correct ckevin.

Actually I will be having packages that range between $10 to $60. Would it be wise to split them up between revecom and instabill then? For the amounts under $17 I'd use revecom and those that are over I'd use instabill.

Would there be any catches or difficulties in implementing this?

Skeptical:

I don't think that's legal. I just read revecom's Client Agreement (I don't have it with me now...) and I think I read something to the effect that:..."ALL purchases made at Client site will be handled by revecom..."

So, by splitting the transactions, I think you would be violating the terms of the agreement

regards,
Antonio

oh, too bad to hear... maybe we can split into 2 sites, 1 site for pricing below $17 and the other 1 for over $17 lol :D

If you use 2 company (like Revecom & Instabill) to accept payment, you will find out it is harder to accumulated your sales. You have to wait for a sligthly longer period to get your check.

They've had that feature for some time now, at least since the beginning of this year. They support wire transfers to bank accounts both within and outside the United States.
