Digital Product Delivery - update
My good friend Jason runs "Digital Product Delivery" (DPD) over at www.digitalproductdelivery.com, a service that I've been using ever since it's inception. I was one of the first handful of customers (if not the first) and I heartily recommend you try it out if you are selling digital downloads of any flavour.
Yesterday, DPD updated their service AND reduced their prices! Here's some more info, taken from the horses mouth;
"This update is a big one- we've added a ton of new features that users have been requesting and laid the groundwork for even more.
Included in this update:
- A new easier to use User Dashboard
- DPD Storefront System - Multi-Item Cart Checkout
- Enhanced mail delivery features
- A new product upload tool
- New lower priced plans across the board
- More Payment Options
- Bug fixes and tweaks
DPD Storefront System
DPD now features the Storefront system, an easy-to-use way to deploy and manage multiple shopping carts across all your websites with one DPD account. The new storefront system allows you to customize individual shopping carts for each of your sites including contact information, store name, optional store logo, and more.
Additional features of the storefront system include attractive HTML order process emails, custom logo on both the cart pages and PayPal checkout pages, PayPal micropayments account support, and more.
Enhanced Mail Delivery Features
We send a lot of email here at DPD- thousands a day. Every purchase generates at least two emails, and with hundreds of transactions processing daily that adds up to a pile of mail. Because of this, we fight a never ending battle with email providers trying to get our mail through their various spam filters and checks. Specifically, we've been having delivery problems with Yahoo, Comcast, and AOL accounts. To combat this, we've added DomainKeys authentication, enhanced SPF sender ID records, reconfigured our SMTP authentication, and more.
Our email delivery success rate is very high now, and we only expect it to improve with these new features.
New Product Uploader
Our old uploader, well, it sucked. People had problems with large files not completing, files not getting stored, etc. We hate things that don't work- not only does it annoy you, it keeps us from working on new features when we're tracking down bugs! So we've updated our product uploader to a new system that reliably handles files up to 1024MB (1GB). For files larger than 1GB we can provide an FTP account for you to upload the files to. If you need this free service please submit a support ticket after logging in to your account.
Big News! We've Lowered Prices!
So the global economy is not so hot and everybody is looking to save money. Economy of scale has allowed us to lower our operating costs and we're passing the savings on to you- that how we like to do business! That's why we've lowered prices across the board on all plans, some as much as 50%. All current subscribers will be automatically upgraded to the new plan that matches their current subscription payment.
Basic Subscribers = 20 Product Plan
Advanced Subscribers = 60 Product Plan
Pro Subscribers = 120 Product Plan
You are free to operate at the new level or downgrade to save money- information on how to do so is located on the Subscription Manager page on your DPD Profile after you log in.
More Payment Options
As part of the plan upgrade we've updated our subscription payment processing system too. PayPal Express Payments are still available, but in addition we've added direct Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Switch, and Solo payments too. The new payment system will make upgrading and downgrading less tedious- with the old system you had to cancel your current plan, log back in to DPD, select a new plan, signup again, etc. It wasn't that great.
Once you are on the new payment system you simply log in to DPD, go to the Subscription Manager, and pick a new plan! No canceling plans, logging out, logging in, sending support tickets, etc. It's awesome.
The only drawback is that since everyone is on the old PayPal simple payments system the first time you upgrade or downgrade you will have to cancel your current plan, log back in and select another. Don't worry though- we won't delete your products and everything will work normally during the account change."
Give it a go, I recommend it -> www.digitalproductdelivery.com
