Webinar Payment Query

by Justin Toner
5 replies
Hey all,

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm about to do host a free webinar 'invisible funnel' style, which is where attendees enter their credit card info to join the webinar but no payment is taken till after the webinar, essentially making it free.
If any of the webinar attendees don't want to pay, they just send an email (to me) after the webinar saying so, and are then not charged anything.

My question is, which payment gateway/software will allow for this type of sign up?

    A client of mine uses Infusionsoft for this purpose.

    You could use Paypal... $0 trial + $X fee in 1 or more days.

    ^ Exactly what Jason said. I personally use OntraPort for this... it's a $0 trial for x days, and then it's a one-time fee of $y. This is using OntraPort with Stripe as the payment gateway.

    I really do not get it. It is a FREE webinar unless they feel the need to pay at the end, but you already have there cc information. Then they send an email to cancel.

    Sorry but to me this strategy is a disaster waiting to happen. You would be better served if the webinar was a type of pre sell for a product that the attendees can purchase after.

    Like I mentioned in another thread this type of strategy could really jeopardize your merchant account.

      It's a proven concept called invisible funnel by Daegan Smith. There's a landing page which participants go to first which CLEARLY explains the price of the webinar but offers a 'try before you buy', meaning if they are not happy with the content delivered they have the option to pay nothing.

    I can't believe you can get people to agree to this I would never. Would you mind explaining how you get people to give you the credit card and how do you know they are real not fake? What do you charge them if they don't send the email?
