We were actually all geared up to start a major sales and marketing push in India when some new Indian tax regulations were passed that caused PayPal to stop processing all payments between parties in India, so as soon as we have an alternative payment method ready (or the relevant tax regulations are revised), we will probably resume efforts to start enrolling merchants in India.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:52:32 GMT
Paypal recently stopped Indian accounts to accept payments from Indian buyers.

Although, the integration of e-junkie with Paypal would have been great, the current situation does not allow any of Indian online sellers to use Paypal as a payment option.

I want to know, if I have my gateway from other providers like CCAvenue or so, can I integrate e-junkie for handling the digital products delivery and other management?

Is there any solution for an Indian seller to integrate e-junkie with any other payment gateway options?

Thanks]]> E-junkie Discussions; cricket777 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 03:26:45 GMT
We're well aware of the desirability, appeal, and utility of improvements such as support for additional payment processors, so bear in mind we're not stonewalling or refusing anything here out of sheer stubbornness or anything like that. We really do want to deliver the improvements that most of our clientele want and would benefit from, but we're also not a bespoke development shop that can jump on any client's request instantly; we have to follow a coherent, internal strategy that takes our entire system, user base, and market niche into consideration. Knowing what our clientele wants is one thing; being able to actually implement it, and exactly how, is another matter entirely.

Fiscally speaking, our revenue goes almost entirely towards covering our costs to operate the service itself and ensuring that it will remain reliable, stable, and fully operational into the foreseeable future. There isn't much surplus that could be reinvested to hire and train additional developers, so we have to make best, most efficient use of the existing staff and man-hours at our disposal that our current revenue can already sustain. Increasing revenue means increasing our subscriber base, which depends on offering more and better features, so there's a bit of an inherent catch-22 there.

Technically speaking, many desirable (and tentatively planned) new features and functionalities are simply "backed up behind the dam" of our current Flash-based Seller Admin, which by now has simply become too complex and crufty to modify readily without breaking it in unexpected ways. We've been making what improvements we can in ways that don't require touching the Flash admin, under the hood and in non-Flash interface screens (e.g. uploader windows and log displays). However, adding any significant new functionality that requires a user-specific level of configuration and control in Admin itself is simply waiting on completion of a brand-new Admin built from scratch in DHTML, which has been Development's primary focus for some time now. I went into more detail about this challenging long-term project here:

Also, has the amount of customers who do not sign up for e-junkie because of the lack of payment processors been considered? Is that loss worth the never-implemented "International" processors?]]> E-junkie Discussions; GSGKenny http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 22:44:09 GMT
As a centrally-managed system shared in common among all our 12,000+ merchants, any aspect of our system's behavior which does not have a setting in Seller Admin, along with back-end functions engineered to work with that, cannot feasibly be modified for any one seller without applying the same modification to all other sellers. The new DHTML-based Admin will be much more amenable to ongoing modification, allowing us to add new controls or alter existing ones on a more frequent, ongoing basis. Any new features or functionality that would need a seller-specific means of configuration/management, or any other alteration of our existing Admin interface appearance or behavior, simply has to wait until the new Admin is finally ready.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 22:29:12 GMT And yes, I am aware that the $30 a month + batch fees, etc Authorize.net exists, but it is not the flat rate .25 per transaction Dwolla that inspired me to make this post. It is not even the increasingly popular Amazon Payments.]]> E-junkie Discussions; GSGKenny http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 22:03:03 GMT http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/authorize.net-shopping-cart.htm

We are evaluating other payment gateways like Authorize.Net which could provide broader international coverage for sellers based outside the US. We'll also add the other payment processors you mentioned to our wishlist.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 02:31:02 GMT
Thanks for bringing this up again, Kenny. I hope this can be put up in priority for e-junkie to implement asap. I have had a share of customers tell me they won't purchase from me because they dislike PayPal so much.

I'm going to implement Google but that doesn't make everybody happy either.]]> E-junkie Discussions; Realkuhl http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:52:53 GMT
While I was searching through what seemed like hundreds of other cart providers, e-junkie supports the least amount of payment processors of anyone, and there were some really shady looking services. They seem to manage just fine though, and if e-junkie is not going to spend any money on improving its service, despite hundreds of requests to do so, I am stuck on why I should continue giving my money to e-junkie.]]> E-junkie Discussions; GSGKenny http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:30:24 GMT
Many payment services cannot be integrated well or even at all -- a lesson we learned with a couple payment processors where we eventually had to give up on full support and only support them with Buy Now buttons, and somewhat clumsily at that. As such, and since we already support a wide variety of payment options for US-based merchants, any new payment services we might evaluate for integration would be those with the broadest international support for merchants outside the US and with the best prospects for full integration with our cart.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-JunkieMonster http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/5612/pg/0#post21603 Fri, 9 Dec 2011 19:57:51 GMT PayPal is a joke that will steal your money. (http://www.trustlink.org/Reviews/PayPal-Inc-206039983 a BBB website)
Google Checkout is nice except customers cannot pay directly from a bank account. Oh, and they do not have a phone so any issues involve sending a fake email, then waiting a week for each response.
TrialPay seems like an overall bad idea because everyone who checks out using it seems to automatically get flooded with spam.

So how about something useful like Amazon Payments, or Dwolla (which seems really awesome)? I mean time and time again we get an excuse about it being too expensive to set up or some non-sense, but if e-junkie expects to find new customers, or keep old ones, I would think listening to what people want would be a good idea. Since this topic is at least a few years old, how much is it going to take? Honestly, the one thing keeping me tied to e-junkie right now is that I built my site around the HTTP POST that is offered here, but not at 3dcart. If they offered it, I would already be gone.]]> E-junkie Discussions; GSGKenny
