Does TrialPay really pay, how much, and when?
Sep 16th, 2007 by admin
Sure they do! We’re running a shareware business, selling our ClipMate program through traditional e-commerce, PayPal, and now, TrialPay.
TrialPay sends us a check every month, and we could opt for PayPal, bank wire, or direct deposit (ACH). Payments are on the 15th, for the previous month’s sales. There is a minimum of $100 (more for bank wire and ACH), so if you’re starting slowly, you’ll “roll-over” until you hit the minimum.
Here’s how to edit your preference, in your TrialPay account:
From your dashboard:
My Account
Payment Preferences
Choice of Paper Check, PayPal, Bank Wire, Direct Deposit ACH
As for “how much”, it depends on what offers people sign up for. That varies, but you can set lower limits. Our product is $34.95, but we’ve set the lower limit a bit lower than that, to give a better variety of offers. TrialPay tries to steer users toward the offers that pay more, so trust them - they’re on your side here. So set the offer level low enough to give most people a chance to find something that they want, without leaving in frustration. You’ll get some that go for the low-paying ones, but then you’ll have some that are in the 20-40 range too, so it all works out. Of course, there are certain geographic areas that are hopeless, and you can’t really expect more than a couple of bucks, so go with the recommended minimum payment for those areas. OTOH, we’ve sold a few license in these countries, where I had pretty much given up hope.
