WSO's - What platform

I'm soon to launch a WSO, and I wanted to know opinions as to the different platforms available.

Of course I know about JVZoo and WSO Pro, but my real concern with those platforms is that it's easy to have my PayPal account restricted or cancelled without warning. And I have no wish to take the risk of that happening. Even if it's a small risk

I know there will be a variety of opinions (both positive and negative) from members here about their experiences with PayPal closing or restricting accounts when numerous smaller transactions hit your account, however after weighing up all the issues, my preference is to go with Clickbank.

Since I have a number of accounts with Clickbank, everything is already set up and in place.

It's still easy for affiliates to signup and come onboard, and I myself have purchased quiet a number of WSO's where the owner has used Clickbank as the delivery/payment platform, so I know it all goes smoothly.

    It's ultimately your choice. I actually prefer E-junkie out of all of them because it's very easy to use and set everything up properly. But ultimately, do your due diligence before choosing either Platform.

    1. Very few people have their accounts limited and even if they do, unless you have done something wrong or gone against their terms, you will get access back to your account once you have given them the information they ask for. Do not let a few horror stories scare you away from Paypal. The reality is much different. There are tons of us using Paypal in the WSO section to process large amounts of money and I've never once had an issue. In fact Paypal called me just the other day to check on things and see if they could help me in any way. Paypal do not deserve the bad rap a few people have given them. I have yet to see someone have their account limited where there was no logical explanation for it happening. You are buying into the hype too much. Don't believe it because it's simply not true.

    2. I have launched WSO's on both Warrior Plus and Clickbank and I can tell you from experience that the Clickbank ones bombed when compared to the others. First of all your customers prefer to use Paypal. Second of all (and more important) is that your affiliates prefer to use Paypal. Not only do Clickbank charge more per sale (7.5% + $1) resulting in lower commissions for your affiliates, but they also do not pay instantly. Affiliates want instant payment nowadays. You don't need to offer it but if you don't, just beware that your affiliates will likely go elsewhere and promote products that do. There is far too much noise and choice in the marketplace nowadays. If you don't offer affiliates what they want then they will just go elsewhere. It doesn't worry them. But it should worry you as a vendor.

    In summary. Just go with Paypal. How will you ever get to a stage where large amounts of money are normal for your Paypal account if you are always too scared to use your account?

    Why would your account be restricted? Call them ahead of time and let them know exactly what you're doing. I'd guess that every last customer service rep at PayPal knows what a WSO is. Just don't give them a reason to slap you.

      Calling them does nothing. Don't waste your time.

      If your account has suspicious activity they will take action regardless of any warning you have given them. Someone who is going to run a scam can call them just as easily as you so it means nothing to them.

      If I rang the Police department and warned them I would be visiting a bank in a balaclava tomorrow night, if they got a call about someone in the bank in a balaclava, do you think they would just do nothing about it?

      "Oh don't worry guys, he called us and warned us about this yesterday. It's fine."

      I don't think so.
