Funds Not Recovered

important_message — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:24:48 GMT

Let's say you opened a dispute against a person named Mevin but Alertpay was not successful in recovering your funds. If Mevin already transferred his Alertpay funds to his bank account before, can Alertpay reverse the bank transaction to get back your funds?

Also, can Alertpay help you get back your funds by taking the funds from the receiver Mevin sent to? Like if Mevin sent a large amount of money to the receiver on Alertpay but Mevin is not buying any service/product from the receiver, it's very likely the receiver is in this fraudulent scheme together with Mevin so you should get the funds back from Mevin's receiver if you can't it back from Mevin. Basically, Alertpay should check Mevin's money transfer transactions on Alertpay to see if any are suspicious and they should reverse the suspicious transactions to help get your funds recovered.

Collection Agency To Go After Dishonest Customers

ceoart — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:36:02 GMT

It would be great if AlertPay would have a Collection Agency we could all use to go after dishonest customers who made unfair Chargeback's.

Is there one? If not maybe this would be a great new service AlertPay can provide all of us to get a portion of our money back.

AlertPay Customer Dispute Freezes Funds But Can Not refund Customers Money

ceoart — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:02:15 GMT

If AlertPay freezes the merchant customers funds for a particular transaction in a dispute why not make an easy way for the merchant to be able to just click on this Customers Frozen Funds and be able to refund it on the spot if they want to. Also make an easy way for the Merchant to be able to block this customer from being able to purchase from that merchant again

Your transaction has been declind.

imd-wow — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 04:50:39 GMT

I recently joined Alertpay and it's telling me that my credit card has been declined and to contact my issuing bank. Seriously what is all this about?

Purchasetype: Subscription, advanced mode, multiple domains payment.

Abid_Ali — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:05:29 GMT

Hi,

Suppose my shopping cart has following data:

# Item Rate Years Amount

1. domain.com 10 1 10
2. domain.net 10 2 20
3. domain.org 10 3 30

Now if I attempt to post this to Alertpay server using Advanced method and purchasetype as 'Subscription' with the following :

On AlertPay's payment page it shows 3 domains with Prices as : $10, $20, $30 but what it shows wrong is :

"Terms: $60 USD every year"

As you can see this is not correct. The same term can not be applied to all 3 domains because each of them has different Term and tenure so how can I use 'Subscription' in my case ?

Currently the parameter 'ap_periodlength' is mandatory. If we are allowed to skip it then it should work.

Please let me know the way out.

Regards,

[AP Staff] micropayments?

meo — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:30:20 GMT

Is lower fees for amounts below 10 USD or so, possible? now assume I'm charged 6.4% + 0.59 USD fee of a 1 USD transaction. the amount i'll recieve after fees is 0.34 USD. The 0.59 USD of the fee it self is about more than 50% of the amount. Even your competitor paypal has micropayment option with 5% + 0.05 USD fee option.

Let us merchants know what you think of it? Right now many people are avoiding alertpay because micropayments are not possible.

Virtual Card?

jayswayz — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:38:49 GMT

They should create a "Virtual Card" that works just like our Visa/MasterCard Card but without the plastic. We can use it online or over the phone and the funds will linked to our AlertPay account.

Alertpay Transaction Dispute

important_message — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:33:10 GMT

When you open a dispute, does Alertpay automatically put a hold on the person's account and funds you're disputing against or does Alertpay only manually put a hold once they see your transaction dispute ticket. I'm asking this because I recently opened a transaction dispute a few days ago but Alertpay did not send the other person I'm disputing against a "Contact Request" email and did not respond to my ticket. It's important for Alertpay to put a hold on the person's funds immediately so that my funds can be recovered. It's also important for Alertpay to resolve this issue as soon as possible. I'm hoping Alertpay can improve it's response time.

Thanks.

IPN not working, getting empty POST data

astrobux — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:21:57 GMT

Hi,

Since Nov4-09, i started receiving empty POST data but before that date, all seemed to be working fine.

Below is my custom buy now snippets..

and below is the code of my notify_url

<?php

session_start();
include('includes/config.inc.php');

    $userid     = $_POST['apc_1'];
    $pemail     = $_POST['apc_2'];
    $ref_number = $_POST['ap_referencenumber'];
    $pay_amount = $_POST['ap_amount'];
    $status     = $_POST['ap_status'];
    $ap_desc    = $_POST['ap_description'];

    $ref_number .= ", UserID: " . $_POST['apc_1'];
    $ref_number .= ", SCode : " . $_POST['ap_securitycode'];
    $ref_number .= ", PEmail: " . $_POST['apc_2'];
    $ref_number .= ", CEmail: " . $_POST['ap_custemailaddress'];
    $ref_number .= ", Desc: " . $_POST['ap_description'];

    $myDb->connect();
    $query2 = "INSERT INTO tbl_order (username, description, price, code) VALUES('$userid','$description','$pay_amount','$ref_number')";
       mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());
       $myDb->close();

And when I checked in the table, im getting this ", UserID: , SCode : , PEmail: , CEmail: , Desc: " for the code field. Not sure if this would help but the IP sending the IPN is 67.205.87.235

So far today, I got 3 payments from the following email addresses below but received empty POST data.

stancld@email.cz

aswibowo2009@gmail.com

santimenorca@gmail.com

Hoping anybody could shed some light as to why it just came up when it was working fine few days back.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

[AP Staff please] $_POST['ap_feeamount'] rounded?

meo — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:49:43 GMT

Hi,

Suppose the fee is 3.9% + 0.59 i.e 0.039 of amount + 0.59.

Also suppose the amount is 5 USD, then is the $_POST['ap_feeamount'] 0.785 or 0.7849999999999999? I need to know the fee calculation in order to debit a membership site based on the amount I recieved and also to show the user the estimated amount their account (site account, not alertpay) be funded after transaction. They have to know what amount will to funded to this account before they make the transaction.

if it is rounded, then is it rounded upwards or downwards?

The test mode should really show fee! I can't make real payments just to see the fee structure.

Please correct them urgently.

Alertpay Virtual Card

oggggsv — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:52:46 GMT

Alertpay should offer a virtual card like the Net+ Neteller Virtual Card.

This would enable us to shop online where Alertpay is not accepted.

It would be a virtual card associated to an Alertpay account.

It would be like an application that you could install in your computer to generate the card.

Alertpay Module for Virtuemart Help

jelite — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 17:58:58 GMT

Hi I need help; I bought the Virtuemart Module for Alertpay through Feed2Post. I am having an issue, contacted the developer of the module but have heard no response. I set up the IPN with the secret code through my Alertpay account, but when an order is placed, and the customer completes the transaction through alertpay, the order status in Virtuemart does not update from Pending to Confirmed.

I would appreciate any help, and can provide any information you need in reference to the module itself (Readme, php code etc.) through private message/ email.

Why it asks for Transaction PIN from first time credit card payer ?

Abid_Ali — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:28:46 GMT

I've configured AlertPay with Advanced Payment Processing Option ie. I post various form fields through :

On the payment page it asks the user to enter "Transaction PIN", I wonder how can a new customer have Transaction PIN ? If I have to include my own encrypted Transaction PIN with Form fields then how to do it ? I'm currently posting the following fields to AlertPay server :

Where should I include Transaction PIN and how ?

Phone validation : URGENT

kolucoms — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:00:20 GMT

Phone validation

When shoppers make a credit card purchase through a website, they will receive a validation code by phone that they must enter at checkout to complete their purchase. This will help protect our sellers by preventing fraudulent payments. This applies to U.S. and Canadian shoppers alone and will only be done one time.

1) How soon customer gets the call ?

2) It says "must enter at checkout to complete their purchase.". Where will they get the CHECKOUT page ?

Phone Validation Problems

ceoart — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:26:23 GMT

Customers tell me it is hard enough for them to use their credit cards with AlertPay, now customers have to go through a validation code by phone that they must enter at checkout to complete their purchase?!

This has its use but I would like to opt out of this because if a customer is using for example an office phone with an extension or there is a delay in getting the code the order process may time out or it may be to much trouble for the customer. Some customers may only have one phone line and can not do this if they are on a dial up connection. Not everyone has a Cell phone or DSL.

I would rather pay 1/2% more as before without this phone validation
