Online Web Portals

“Increased market shares can also be achieved by offering the right payment method in each country.” Sven Krahn, Lycos

Portals are websites that offer a broad array of resources and services to consumers and businesses worldwide. Most often portal offer e-mail, forums, news, web search, on-line shopping malls, music, networking or dating tools.

Payment Challenges

• A reluctance to use credit cards
  Portal website users can vary significantly in age and location. Many of the portal users do not have a credit card or are not willing to pay with it online.
• Single Billing platform
  Portal sites are offering many different services. In order to be efficient and user friendly, it is important for portals to be able to combine payments for different services and invoice them through the same channel.
• Micro payments
  The billing amounts for some of portal services such as distribution of content are small, and therefore Portals need to find a user friendly way to charge small amounts.
• Recurring payments
  Many portal sites offer services that are charged on a recurring basis such as dating or web hosting. Offering customers to charge them on a recurring basis without necessary action from their side will be perceived as an advantage.
