Fraud Screen on SWREG VBV Orders

Posted in SWREG on the June 15th, 2006

On June 14th, SWREG will be changing how VBV and 3D Secure approved orders are handled. This change is a requirement added by Visa and MasterCard. SWREG is now required to do their system fraud checks on VBV approved orders before the order completes.

This removes some of the proclaimed benefit of VBV and 3D Secure. SWREG will be evaluating whether or not to continue with VBV and 3D Secure, as they revamp their fraud system over the next 3 months.

Posted in eSellerate on the June 14th, 2006

To allow for system maintenance, the following eSellerate administration sites will be unavailable from approximately 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. CDT on Wednesday, June 21:

This maintenance will affect only the web-based management features of eSellerate. All eSellerate eSellers (Web Store, Embedded Web Store, Integrated and Installer)will remain available to process customers’ purchases.

Reminder: SWREG CD Changes

Posted in SWREG on the June 6th, 2006

SWREG wants to remind you that its CD prices will be increasing to $9.99 on June 15, 2006.

The cost to SWREEG’s clients has not changed for several years even though they have incurred additional costs; however, in order to maintain some profitability SWREG has to adjust their pricing based on the latest inflation changes. The new pricing is very comparable to the rest of the industry.  You as the author need to change your pricing accordingly in your store and on your website. It will also reflect industry pricing and will not impact CD sales.
