Clickbank VS PayPal for WSO

by Alex Frei
5 replies
Hello everyone,

I know that Paypay is the usual processor for WSOs. So, people are used to and are comfortable with using it(I assume).

But!:
1. Do you need to call them(PPal) every time you're going to have a launch?
2. Doesn't Clickbank look more trustworthy due to all their rules and regulations and a set-up fee and the refund policy?

I know other pros and cons of the Paypal but these two bother me most.

Thanks,
Alex

      Why would you have to call them before a launch?

      Is it because you anticipate a large infusion of cash to the paypal account?

        It's really up to you. You can always use the CB refund policy as a selling point but other than that it's what makes you feel comfortable. Also keep in mind that since many wso purchasers are also sellers and keep a certain amount of money in their paypal account for wso purchases, so not having paypal available MAY cause a few sales.

        The WSO market is already accustomed to Paypal so whether or not CB looks more professional is a non-issue IMO.

        Calling paypal before a launch is a good idea if you expect to go over your usual processing limits or if your account is newer.

        My 2 and a half cents

    I think if you're concerned with Warriors being more receptive to one payment method or the other, it's not an issue. Everybody is used to PayPal and Clickbank. We just want to pay for and receive your product.

    The real issue here is for you. PayPal is easy. You have an account, integrate a payment button into your WSO and done. Using PayPal for a WSO does lead to other potential issues.

    First is, PayPal's fraud detection system will immediately detect a pattern change in regards to how fast and how much money is coming into your account. Withdrawing your money could set the system off and get your account flagged. Then you'll have to deal with a limited account.

    Second, PayPal is going to hit you with the rolling reserve. In other words, you'll make sales, but you won't have access to some of your money for up to 90 days in some cases.

    The upside is, you get paid right away.

    With Clickbank, you have to pay a fee to get your product listed. You have to wait to get your product approved. The upside is, you have a little more stability with your money. If somebody pays you for something, and you make your minimum threshold, you'll get a check or direct deposit into your account every Wednesday. Not much chance for an account limitation or non-access to your funds.

    If you have the time to set it up, and if I were in your shoes, I'd go the ClickBank route just to play it safe.

    However, if you're at least verified with PayPal, DON'T have a personal account, and you need more flexibility with your money, I'd go the PayPal route and then cross my fingers and hope it goes well.

    If you use PayPal, call them up and ask them to turn on the auto-sweep feature in your account. PayPal will automatically sweep all of your funds into your bank account daily by close of business. This feature automatically bypasses PayPal's fraud detection system that scans for (among other things) withdrawal patterns. Doing this make the odds of your account being limited that much smaller.

    Thanks guys

    I have no issues with clickbank. They've approved my product, I paid the 50$, so
    it's all fine.

    I think I'll just let the buyers choose. I'll make the both processors available. If it's not against rules of WF...

    Edit: Stupid me. I've just realized that clickbank has an option of paypal payment within the clickbank checkout.
