Plimus test

Some time ago, I talked about my payment processor RegNow, and how they work. I also talked about the Dollar-Euro conversion rate. All of this made me believe it is time for me to switch. I heard a lot of good stuff about Plimus, which is not part of the Digital River network. All payment processors bought by Digital River seem to use the same way of earning money: an x% + y$ plan which I’m not that fond of. Plimus has no setup fee, so I can basically try them out for free. And their % on sales seems alluring. They even had a conversion offer, which means that they would create all my products using the information from RegNow and my website.

I wasn’t that impressed with Plimus at first to tell you the truth. The interface seemed clunky and it was hard to find everything I needed. So I didn’t check them out after signing up. Today, I went back and I was impressed with the way they converted all my products. This is a great incentive to switch, because a lot of work was already done for me. So I spend some time fine-tuning everything. I still hate the interface, but I’m getting used to it. And then I discovered the real reason I want to switch: I can sell in any currency I want. Want to sell in Bahamas Dollars, or Iceland Kronur? No problem. So I can sell all my products in Euros if I want to. There are still a few minor issues like product bundles. But there are workarounds.

So I will probably switch to Plimus in a few days. I’m still thinking of using affiliates for RegNow. I’m not sure at this point. I updated Sniff – O – Matic and changed all the buy links to Plimus instead of RegNow. I’ll use it as a test before I make the big conversion. I think I’ll need a day changing all the buy links in the software and on the website, so I want to know if it’s worth getting into.
