One of the foundations of a successful e-commerce profit model centers on the impulse purchase. For many years this ability to join a site or purchase on a whim has been linked and identified with credit card use online. While this model has worked quite well in North America and elsewhere around the world, either alone or combined with a recurring membership or subscription, Europe remains a challenge as credit card penetration has lagged behind other regions because of differing cultural views on debt and credit use.

While credit card billing in Europe can certainly produce significant joins, revenue and profits, in a market larger than the US market now quickly coming online, less than 25% own a credit card, and even fewer surfers will actually use one for personal expenditures online. Germans can rattle off their bank account and routing numbers in the same way US residents know their social security numbers - and – they are used to paying for everything with their bank accounts; it’s just the way things are.

Key benefits of credit card billing include the ability to capture the spontaneous join, both through trials and classic purchases. The ability to re-bill subscriptions, offer one-click following purchases and upgrades, pay-per-anything, cross sales and cancellation packages can really boosts earnings.

Global Operations Director, Ines Petersen, stated that you can achieve all these same goals in Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France and the Netherlands with the technical platform offered by Webbilling.com EU Direct Debit solution.  No cards of any kind required – just a bank account, and virtually everybody who earns money in Europe owns a bank account. So the impulse sale is alive and well in the EU.

These joins are already in your current traffic. If you offer only credit card payment these surfers are unable to pay you – unable to convert – unable to join.Webbilling.com's technical platform offers you essential European payment methods. If you just add these payment methods to your already existing solutions you can significantly increase your EU revenue.

Convert every possible user. Do not let any joins escape. Write: marketing@webbilling.com and learn how easy it is to get started. Don’t lose another day of EU non-card revenue.

Xbiz award winning provider of a technical platform for alternative payment methods Webbilling.com BV has announced that the addition of French direct debit to its platform has resulted in increased conversions and a new revenue stream for its merchants with French traffic.

Webbilling leads the billing field in providing systems for EU non-card online conversion solutions, and the French option continues the company’s expansion of country coverage throughout 2011. Current coverage includes Germany, United Kingdom, Austria, Netherlands, Spain, France and Italy with several more EU countries in final testing pending activation in the coming months.

Webbilling is currently seeking NATS French and Italian traffic beta testers, so if you are not already using the Webbilling direct debit technical platform and have French and Italian traffic, please contact marketing@webbilling.com directly, for complete simple instructions and assistance with the NATS set-up for increased conversions and revenue.

"We are looking forward to discussing all our expanding payment options in Chicago next month, and are actively seeking volunteers for more revenue!" said Webbilling JoeD. "The Webbilling.com Team will be attending the upcoming XBIZ Summit in Chicago set for June 10-12, so let’s meet to discuss all our expanded new options."  

GIBRALTAR — Neostrata, owner of affiliate programs HunkMoney, BritishBucks and LatinoBucks, has partnered with European merchant services company Webbilling to offer new direct debit payment options for its French and Italian customers.

“We have been working closely with Webbilling for about a year now, offering their alternative payment solutions to select European markets, with significant results,” said Luke Hubert, owner of Neostrata.

“So we were thrilled to hear that Webbilling was now providing new alternative payment solutions for France and Italy. I got in touch with Webbilling immediately and we worked together to get these new payments options rolled out to all our paysites in all three of our programs. And now, I believe we are the first all-gay programs to offer direct debit billing solutions to France and Italy.”

Neostrata has recognized the importance of offering alternative billing methods to different markets. Since much of the European population does not use credit cards for online purchases, Neostrata has worked to secure non-card solutions so that its webmasters can now capitalize on all their European traffic.

"We are excited to begin adding several countries to our direct debit capability throughout 2011, beginning with the prime French market," said Ines Petersen, Webbilling's global operations director.

"Expanding our reach and coverage to enable HunkMoney, BritishBucks and LatinoBucks affiliates to convert all of their E.U. traffic improves results for everyone." Affiliate webmasters can now monetize gay traffic sent in Germany, Austria, Netherlands, U.K., Spain, Italy and France.

EU non-card billing leader Webbilling.com honored again in LA with the 2011 Xbiz Award for Biller of the Year (Alternative).

Webbilling.com has enjoyed swift industry expansion through platform innovations culminating in the second Xbiz Award honor for among other things the unique ability to provide the marketing capability typically identified with credit card joins for alternative solutions. Webbilling can provide flexibility in customization of many aspects of the system, more countries than other processors servicing the high-risk markets, and always - more on the way.

Key differentiation factors in the marketplace expanding the platform include the addition of new countries for direct debit, a successful Merchant roster and ongoing Merchant innovation generating additional revenues, and the addition of an instant guaranteed payment process for the German speaking market, with Spain in testing and more countries coming. One risk factor inherent in the direct debit banking infrastructure associated with most Merchant disappointment and a cost of doing business with the process is the expectation of NSF/chargeback transactions. Webbilling.com continues to make strides to mitigate this risk for Merchants whose models require more strict protocols -- always striving to improve and build on what is available in the marketplace and making it work for the most Merchants.

"The 2010-2011 XBIZ Awards have provided the external validation and acknowledgment that Webbilling is a unique provider in the processing vertical," Global Operations Manager, Ines Petersen stated. "Webbilling has proven that you can’t assume you are already covered for these joins with your current solutions."

E.U. non-card billing company Webbilling has announced commencement of real direct debit billing for France for their client merchants.

The company said that for more than 10 years, it has focused on the use of direct debit for the conversion of European traffic specifically for the adult industry with the same immediacy, ease, and with the same marketing tools enjoyed with credit card billing.

But now, the company is adding France and expanding on its mission to provide debit focused products to sponsors at reasonable rates, while maximizing E.U. revenue, including immediate access, recurring billing, free and multiple free trials, cross sales, upsells, escalating security levels, pay-per-anything packages, and encrypted one-click joins for additional marketing.

"Keep all your present billing solutions; just optimize Webbilling to maximize your E.U. revenue. This is found money ??” you are already doing all the work to get these surfers to your sites. Add the French customers without credit cards to your potential membership roster and bill the German, Austrian, Dutch, British and Spanish markets where credit cards are often also the alternative billing method."

The Webbilling direct debit platform services industry processors and sponsors worldwide.

Webbilling.com enjoyed swift industry uptake and won the 2010 Xbiz Award for among other things the unique ability to provide the marketing capability typically identified with credit card joins for alternative solutions, including Trials, Free Trials, Recurring billing, One-click Joins/Upsells, Pay-per-Anything, Cross sales – all are possible – along with Customizable Currency Conversion Capabilities, Cancellation Packages, and Effective Risk Management that can be customized for each country. Webbilling also provides white label implementation for large capable merchants, flexibility in customization of many aspects of the system, more countries than other processors servicing the high-risk markets, and always - more on the way.

One risk factor inherent in the direct debit banking infrastructure associated with most Merchant disappointment and a cost of doing business with the process is the expectation of NSF/chargeback transactions. Webbilling.com continues to make strides to mitigate this risk for Merchants whose models require more strict protocols.

Industry Leading adult company NaughtyAmerica.com has begun expanding translations and site development and marketing to facilitate use of the Webbilling.com European Direct Debit billing platform and capitalize on potential EU conversions.

Monitoring global trends and following the continued strength of the Euro and British Pound, NaughtyAmerica Affiliate Manager Justin Baker believes European market growth will continue to present an ongoing opportunity, and they chose to be ahead of the curve offering every join option possible. In addition to all the traditional billing methods, NaughtyAmerica now bills users with the Direct Debit purchase option for Spain, Germany, Austria, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom with no card of any kind required for these EU joins, and will expand country coverage throughout 2011.  

"With the competition for traffic so intense these days, it is more important than ever to do everything to convert each and every surfer landing on your sites - you are working harder for every visitor and affiliates are closely monitoring conversion rates - it is very important to every affiliate that their program of choice converts any traffic from anywhere in the world", said Ines Petersen, Global Operations Director at Webbilling.com.

The NaughtyAmerica team is dedicated to further innovation and refinement, and recognizes the importance not only of utilizing every conceivable option and resource to convert existing traffic, but the ability now to encourage webmasters with European traffic to send even more to convert on their sites.

Fort Lauderdale - Industry innovator LotzaDollars.com has expanded site development and marketing to facilitate use of the Webbilling.com European Direct Debit billing platform and capitalize on potential EU conversions in their traffic. All EU affiliates can now send credit and non-card traffic to the LotzaDollars site portfolio and convert with additional payment options now in place.

In making the decision to add the Webbilling payment capability, Ed, owner of LotzaDollars, observed that global trends continue to evolve and the strength of the Euro and British Pound against the Dollar will likely remain the case for some time, I wanted to be certain we are taking every possible advantage of available billing technology and payment options to optimize our revenue potential across the board. While we might remain credit card focused, why should we lose even one sale because we did not have a users preferred payment option in place?

"Competition for paid-site-conversions is intense these days, it is more important than ever to do everything to convert each and every surfer landing on your sites - you are working harder for every visitor and affiliates especially want to be assured you are doing everything possible to convert their traffic - it is very important to every affiliate that their program of choice converts any traffic from anywhere in the world," said Ines Petersen, Global Operations Director at Webbilling.com.

LotzaDollars joins a growing and esteemed list of industry leaders utilizing the Webbilling payment options in their billing mix, and has begun expanding visibility and presence in the EU markets. European webmasters are encouraged to review the LotzaDollars cash program and send traffic to the newly EU optimized sites.

Webbilling.com, global leader in the provision of real European Direct Debit solutions is on the move! Ines Petersen and JoeD are on the road making office visits a priority for the remainder of 2010. "With tradeshows down this year and likely even fewer next year, we've focused on the personal touch, visiting key cities where we can generate the most meetings with potential and existing Merchants.  Meeting someone on their home turf really changes the relationship and it's so important to have face to face communication in the billing arena."

For a long time merchants were complacent with their credit card billing, but this year most companies really started considering the revenue possibilities afforded by adding other non-card billing and mobile methods. "We've been to Toronto, LA and San Francisco already, visiting major cam, dating, sponsor program, billing, online gaming and virtual world Merchants; next stop is Phoenix and a return to San Francisco," said JoeD. Webbilling.com has focused on the use of direct debit for the conversion of European traffic with the same immediacy, ease, and with the same marketing capability and tools enjoyed with credit card billing, but no card of any kind is required of the user. Webbilling provides banking focused products, maximizing EU revenue from users already on your sites but unable to pay. The solutions include the ability to provide immediate access, recurring billing, free and paid trials, cross sales, up sells, escalating security levels, pay-per-anything packages, encrypted one-click joins for additional marketing, and flexible customized risk management systems.

Petersen added, "Who else can provide real high-risk Direct Debit in all our serviced countries and an Advanced Direct Pay solution for all of Europe?" Even in the UK, 73% of adults are positively disposed to using online direct debit payment. "Many consider our platform an 'alternative' payment method, but from my European perspective we provide a proven platform for the preferred primary billing method for our best markets. Keep all your existing billing solutions in place; just optimize Webbilling to maximize your EUR and GBP revenue. Same Traffic = More Joins. Found money! - you've already done all the work and these customers are on your sites."
