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.
Only 6.8% women trust online payments. This is the conclusion that Marzena Feldy, a PhD at Warsaw School of Economics, has come to. She analyzed a group of young people aged 18 to 34 as to their online shopping behavior. The research included both men and women but let us concentrate on women for the moment.
According to the research, women consider e-shopping too technical. Websites loaded with masses of products have been shown to cause information stress among women. It also turns out that women find contact with a shop assistant indispensable. They want to be sure that goods can be returned easily. Women also consider e-shopping boring. Surprised? Here is why. The interviewees claim that while shopping online they lack interaction with friends. There is no one around to discuss, advise or help make the final decision.

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.
Running a website or a blog has never been easier and more accessible. There’s WordPress, Blogger, Livejournal, Tumblr. Thanks to such user-friendly and simple websites, every day thousands of new online blogs are created and anyone can become a blogger. The question is – should they?
I’m not talking about sites run by teens testing make up or personal journals for a distant family abroad, but about resourceful, opinion-forming sites that actually want to matter. Unfortunately, it seems that many of them (without pointing any fingers), focus all their attention on the quantity of posts and not the quality. Of course, the topic of the blog is important, but so are the grammar and spelling.
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.
Recurring payments, known also as recurring billings or subscriptions, is a mechanism that processes payments for all kinds of repetitive transactions. This payment method allows e-businesses to collect money from customers’ card, bank account or PayPal account. Once the client agrees, payment is initiated regularly at set time intervals.
How recurring payments work
Your client has to create an account on your website and order your service. When it comes down to the payment process they fill out the payment form, with the card or bank account data (such as card or bank account number, card expiration date, cardholder name, CVV etc.) or are sent to their PayPal account. Data are collected when clients create an account on an e-business website or after the trial version’s expiration. This is also the moment when you ask your clients for permission to collect recurring payments.
After first processed transaction you receive from PayLane your transaction ID. After 30 days or any other payment period, your system, through PayLane API, makes the next payment. To do it, there is no need to ask the payer to enter card or bank account data once again. The payment takes place using the transaction ID from the first purchase and transaction amount, which can be changed, so if your clients upgrades their account there is no need to ask him again for permission.
We all know that every self-respecting businessman has a mentor – someone who’ll teach the nuts and bolts of the bizworld, lead the way or offer a priceless piece of advice. But we also know that not everyone’s lucky enough to have someone like that in their life. What should you do then? Well, you can either decide that you don’t need others’ wisdom or you can look for it elsewhere. And what’s a better place for that than the internet? And so, to make it even easier for you to find it (cause we all know how big the internet is), we’ve decided to collect our favourite business (but not only!) quotes that will hopefully inspire, motivate and provoke you. We have chosen wise and witty words from some of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs and leaders, starting from Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, through Ted Turner, J. Paul Getty and ending on Guy Kawasaki, who will surely inspire you to action!
Without further ado, let me present to you… BANKS QUOTES!
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.
