Is Alertpay a good payment processor for selling my own products?

I have to agree with the above statement. I've used both PayPal and AlertPay to sell the same product. When I switched to AlertPay there was a marked decrease in sales with AlertPay -- keep in mind that I've used AlertPay, along with other payment processors, since 2006.

First, AlertPay is having issues with VISA. They can't accept that. And contrary to their advertising they don't take AMEX either. With them, you're stuck with people funding the purchase with their AlertPay balance (which people can only fund through snail mail at the moment) OR using their MasterCard. That cuts your buying market significantly.

The second major factor why sales go down with AlertPay is that people don't know it or trust it yet. That's just a fact contrary to what anybody tells you.

If PayPal is not an option for you, then you're left with AlertPay. Keep in mind, of course, there are numerous other online payment processors to choose from.

Lastly, on the whole, AlertPay is great. They have an attractive and functional GUI. Keeping track of sales is easy. Integrating payment buttons into your site is a breeze. Withdrawals from your AlertPay account to your bank account is done in a decent amount of time (usually 3-5 business days). The only issue is that for you to accept credit card funded payments and offer payment buttons, you do have to upload your ID (as well as other documentation if requested) before you'll be approved for this feature. This process, unfortunately, can take some time. For me it took over 2 weeks. Others I've worked with reported between 7 and 10 business days depending on where you are located.

Hope this helps!

You've never had an issue with paypal?
