FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Repeat Online Sales Not Dependent on Repeat Visits

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) June 2003 - Ezic, a leader in high performance digital payment processing solutions, offers merchants of renewable products, such as online content, club memberships and association fees, a way to rebill their customers automatically.

Ezics flexible rebilling and subscription options make it possible for merchants to ensure uninterrupted service to their customers and uninterrupted revenue streams for themselves. With the cardholders permission, merchants can set up customized customer billing preferences once, and then rest assured that delivery of their product will continue until the customer indicates they wish to cancel their subscription. Merchants can apply fixed recurring billing dates such as monthly, or variable dates such as the 5th of every month. The system offers total flexibility.

For online merchants who sell content via subscriptions, the Ezic solution allows them to set up pricing, free grace periods for trials, email reminders of when rebilling will occur, subscriber cancellation links, and a variety of other tools that allow merchants to continue to receive revenue without having to re-enter any customer information.

Ezic makes it easier for the customer, who no longer has to remember to renew his subscription, and easier for the merchant who saves time because he no longer needs to follow up with his customers to remind them to renew their subscriptions. Further, because the customer receives automated messages and is notified of the recurring charges in advance, chargebacks to the merchant are greatly reduced. Best of all, business that might be lost because customers didnt have time or forgot to revisit the merchant website to renew their subscriptions is saved.

For merchants who wish to sell member-protected content, Ezic has a Member Control Script for UNIX/Apache users. The Ezic system also interfaces with AuthentiX, a 3rd party authentication solution for Windows Servers. AuthentiX software by Flicks (www.flicks.com) password protects member-only web content, while Ezic enables merchants to receive periodic payments from customers who view that content. Together, Ezic and Flicks allow for automatic recurring billing and membership management of subscription websites," said Scott Gordon, Director of Marketing for Flicks. We have worked with many merchants to get their online content up for sale on the web. Using our password protection software and Ezics payment processing solution, merchants are finding great new revenue streams."

The Ezic rebilling solution is also perfect for health clubs and associations. Anyone with a computer and access to the Internet can enter the information for each member once. Ezic eliminates the need for expensive software purchases and/or billable administrative hours by facilitating the rebilling process for these entities. Any business that relies on intermittent customer payments can benefit from the Ezic system. The rebilling/subscription feature of the Ezic system has enabled us to go after new markets and new revenue streams that were previously unavailable to us," said David Solomon, CEO of FastTransact (www.fasttransact.com).

Ezic has long offered its safe and reliable digital payment processing solution. Now it adds the benefits of rebilling and subscriptions to make the Ezic solution more far-reaching than ever before.
