About
Swift PayPass is an application from Swift Blue, LLC – a Providence, RI based software development company.
Swift PayPass automates the process of selling and fulfilling orders of digital goods for our customers.
Whats the big picture?
Swift PayPass is an easy to use, easy to implement complete hosted solution for merchants of digital goods such as:
- Music
- Movies
- Digital art
- eBooks
- Software
- Icons
- Fonts
- Any type of file
The digital/virtual goods industry is a 2 billion dollar a year industry. It's not just the large companies that are taking a piece of this pie, small businesses will be playing an ever increasing role in this market.
How is this different from other services?
We offer a fat-free application that gets the job done. Other services can be confusing, and a bit pricier. We’re able to offer more bandwidth and storage space cheaper by leveraging new technologies that have driven these costs down, we in turn pass this savings on to our customers.
Our user interface is also clean, easy on the eyes and very intuitive, something other services in this area lack.
How does it work?
A user creates a product on Swift PayPass, we then give them the Buy-it-Now link or button code to place on their website or in their email. When their customer clicks on this Buy-it-Now link they are immediately redirected to PayPal where they can send the merchant the money for the purchase directly.
Once the customer sends the merchant the money, PayPal notifies Swift PayPass with the status of the purchase, and if it has been verified, the customer is automatically redirected to their own private download link where the file is now accessible to them for 48 hours.
We also send the customer an invoice receipt for the transaction that also includes the download link in case they have closed their browser window.
The money goes directly to our users, instantly, and their customers are happy that they received their file immediately.
Current features
Right now, in our beta program, we just have enabled the ability for our users to create new products and add the associated Buy-it-Now link or button onto their website, blog or into an email.
Future features
We are working on Swift PayPass Storefronts which will allows our users to create their own personalized store that will be hosted by us. Users will be have their own unique URL to give to their customers and it will be completely branded by the user.
We are also working on a shopping cart that is very easy to implement into a users website with just a few lines of HTML. This will give our users the ability to turn their website into a fully functional eCommerce site within minutes and with just a few lines of pasted HTML.
Public launch date
We will be launching to the public in September of 2007.
