Scam and scammers are something that we need to fight with almost each day. Unfortunately it’s one of the worst plagues of our industry. How many times did you receive an e-mail with a request to change the password in some kind of e-wallet service (such as PayPal)? How many times were you asked to do something in your bank account? To have it done you just needed to click on some link in the email and put your login and password in a login form. Simple. But fake.
Those websites look similar to the original ones. But they are not. Once you put your login and password – these credentials will be stored in scammer’s database.
Imagine making more money without having to work more… You say it’s impossible? Not with PayLane, it isn’t!

And it doesn’t matter whether you are our client or not.
How to earn with PayLane
If you run a business on the Internet, you probably have friends who do it too or you know other e-businesses. If they sell their services or products online they need a payments service provider – and that’s where you come in. By recommending PayLane, you too can make money with PayLane.
Developer Zone is a special website dedicated to IT geeks. It contains everything that might be helpful when integrating with PayLane. Besides technical documentation, you’ll find there:
plugins for the biggest e-commerce platforms (Magento, osCommerce, Zen Cart, OpenCart, Presta Shop) and to WordPress,
First, a few words of explanation: when a client wants to purchase something from merchant’s website, he or she needs to fill in the special form, specify the payment method and validate the address. Some merchants had designed their own forms. For those who did not, PayLane has always had a form prepared. But recently, we have decided it’s time to have it refreshed.
The changes are visible at first glance: the design underwent a severe make-over, the green boxes are gone and everything fits a single form. Company details can be found in the top right-hand corner of the form: the merchant can customize this area with his or her logo and, naturally, company details.
PayLane has released another package of extension for e-commerce platforms. This time we are happy to present to you solutions for OpenCart, PrestaShop, Zen Cart and WordPress.
E-commerce platforms & WordPress
OpenCart, PrestaShop, Zen Cart are popular platforms for setting up an online businesses. Thanks to the aforementioned extensions the Merchant is able to start processing on his/her website instantly using PayLane’s Secure Form, since the client is redirected to PayLane payment form. Such a solution is nice and easy, and doesn’t require any additional cost or extra work.
This time we’ve got something for the start-up community. If you decide to create your business it might be useful to know your potential investors’ point of view. Better listen criticism and correct mistakes now than close the project before it develops properly.
I have talked to Bartłomiej Gola, the Managing Partner of SpeedUp Group, an entrepreneur and innovator, about the future of start-ups, why great engineers fail, the difference between local and international business and how to find an investor for your start-up.
We all know that high security is a must for every business. One of the ways to ensure the safety of your clients’ money is implementing 3-D Secure. But what does it mean from the technical side?
Thanks to PayLane’s implementation of the 3-D Secure technology, it is not merchants, but banks that are responsible for chargebacks in case of fraud transactions, on condition that:
3-D Secure has been activated for the card,
the payer has been redirected by the merchant to a website where the card authentication takes place,
the authentication process is successful.
To make it easier for merchants to use 3-D Secure, without requiring them to have in-depth knowledge of the whole authentication process, we have brought it down to 2 functions called through API.
It didn’t take Google long to follow into Facebook footsteps and change the look of their social website. Unlike Facebook, the change was not as drastic and didn’t leave an unprepared profile looking plain. Still, an updated look meant some redecorating on our (the PayLane’s) part.
Google offered two possible looks of the site: one involved a long cover picture and the other offered a chopped version, composing of five small squared pictures. At first, the first option seemed to be a good idea, but soon proved to be rather tricky. The chopped version was much more interesting to design.
After Magento’s integration PayLane has now released an osCommerce plugin which allows online payment processing.
osCommerce, just like Magento, is an e-commerce solution that allows setting up an online store with a wide range of features. The success of osCommerce can be assigned to active and evergrowing community.
