I am thinking of switching away from ClickBank to make use of e-junkie's integration with PayPal and Google checkout. So far I haven't had time to really look at this in detail but I assume it should be a fairly painless migration process. I've been searching Google for some cold hard evidence on sales conversion rates between the two systems but have yet to find anything. Cart abandonment at the last hurdle because of a poor billing process is something that can really hurt sales.



Recently I have been sending out a few ebook samples for review, but it's still reassuring to do so with the PDF stamping feature activated. To do this with ClickBank I have to switch off billing temporarily and go through a mock test purchase using the end users name and email address, so they will be sent a download link to a stamped PDF file. Is it possible to do something like this if I move away from ClickBank?



It has become very apparent from the stats at ClickBank that while they may have a large number of affiliates, many of them are far from active, so it's not unusual to see somebody sign up and then deliver no traffic. The great plus point is that it's all automated, so I don't really have to think about it, but I would be very interested in hearing from both sellers and affiliates on their feelings regarding the pluses and minuses of each system.



Thanks



Ashley

Sorry for the delay in replying to your forum post.



Switching from ClickBank to Google Checkout and PayPal is pretty easy in E-junkie. Once you setup you PayPal and Google accounts you can go to Seller Admin>Edit Profile and enter in the information for those accounts, if you want to get rid of Clickbank at the same time, then you can remove the data for ClickBank. You will need to copy and paste new buy now button codes to replace the ones for ClickBank. Or you can use the shopping cart button codes. So you know Google Checkout does take a little extra setup on Google's side. Here is a link to our Google Checkout FAQ page which will show you what needs to be done:

There are no changes that you have to make to your PDF stamp setup when switching between payment processors.
