Anyone Using RAP and Alternate Payment Link without Siphoning Sales from Affiliates?

[Lifeimprovement]

I want to use Rapid Action Profits, but realize I may lose a certain number of sales since they only take paypal.

Anyone tried putting a link under the order button that says something like "If above link does not work, use this alternate payment processor."

I want to increase my sales, but not have people clicking their who would use paypal anyways.

Paypal takes credit cards so how can you loose sales?

Hi,

You may not lose sales, but I doubt affiliates will be too happy with this. They wouldn't get paid through RAP for the alternative.

Thanks,

John

I think Justin's response is right on the money.

There is no need for a customer to have a Paypal account (any more than they are required to have, say, an Authorize.net account if you chose that as your "alternative method").

How do you "realize" that you may lose a certain number of sales if you only accept Paypal? I think you've been reading (believing) too much IM crap. I, myself, carry a Paypal ATM card, but I realize full well that the customers on my golf products site probably don't. Nor do they even have a Paypal account.

I still use Paypal to process all of the credit card payments I receive from that site. Works just fine. Now if I can just find a way to send monographed golf balls as an electronic download...
