Is Your Order Button Broken?

Yesterday, I tried to buy something online but this poor marketer's Paypal order button was not working at all and he had no idea.

Most people would just be gone at this point but I thought I would let him know. He thanked me and said he was wondering why no orders had been coming in for the past week and he had no idea it stopped working.

It's always a good idea to test your Order/Buy Now buttons every once in awhile just in case.

    Yes, it happened to me before - my secure order form broke. Thankfully it was a busy site that got orders every day, so I noticed really quickly that there was a whole day without orders and fixed the form ASAP!

    But if the site is slow and gets just a few orders here and there, someone could go for weeks without noticing that something is wrong.

    I would of given you the product for free if I was the vendor... Providing it was digital that is. Just think of the amount of additional sales he would of lost if you hadn't of him.
