Capitalizing on Micro Processing and Subscription Billing

Over the last decade, the proliferation of technology through all fields has changed the face of news and publishing in drastic ways. The two most concrete examples of this are the increasing popularity of self-publishing and major news outlets moving to online subscriptions over print.

With these major changes in production and consumption in the literary world, the need for alternative payments has become more and more important. This is especially true in the areas of recurring billing and micro-processing. With experience in both of these types of payments for almost 15 years, AlternativePayments is able to help you maximize your profit by offering alternative payment solutions.

Recurring Billing for Subscription Services

With more and more news outlets moving to an online subscription model, the need for a processor familiar with this area is more important than ever. Whether your company is a large scale news organization trying to crossover from print to online, or you are a smaller local paper or blog, AlternativePayments can get you started quickly and easily with subscription billing. Since 1999 they have been providing fully scalable, and customizable, recurring billing services. With an extensive background in alternative payment methods popular around the world, AlternativePayments is uniquely setup to help, especially for companies with large readerships from outside the US.

Micro Processing for Self Publishers

With the explosion of self publishing as an effect of products like the Kindle and iPad, micro processing has experienced similar growth. With cheap eBooks running from 99 cents to a couple dollars, and pay as you read becoming a more popular method of online consumption, the need for micro processing is ever growing. With AlternativePayments, you can easily setup customizable micro payments for single products, setting access rules individually. AlternativePayments also has the ability to setup prepaid, pay as you go reading, where readers prepay as little as $5 and their credits are deducted as they read.
