txtNation reports growth in Premium SMS for Micro-Billing.

With the many options available to merchants for non-credit card processing on the market today, txtNation are leading the way in the dynamic, SMS billing market. Picking up the best mobile billing provider award last month in London, England and recently nominated for the Mobile Entertainment awards this October, txtNation are continuing their fast growth with the most recent of updates to their Premium SMS billing solution. On the back of the popular mENABLE (www.m-enable.com) billing solution, txtNation’s new widget (http://www.m-enable.com/widget) has been packed full of further features that allow merchants to control and manage all aspects of their micro-billing requirements.

txtNation Director, Michael Whelan quotes ‘With the recent demand for mobile billing, this is a very exciting space to be in. We are turning around new merchant’s daily and providing full deployment within a few days. With the billing widget, we have focused on ease of use and setup for those looking to generate revenues from Premium SMS.’

txtNation claim that the majority of website merchants using mENABLE are now processing more revenues with SMS via the widget, than using credit card. txtNation also say that merchants are now becoming more respective to this form of transaction, charging smaller amounts as a form of micro-payment.

Whelan quotes, ‘Micropayments lower the threshold and do not require a big decision before users get their initial benefits: thus users will be encouraged to view more pages and spend more. With a simple interface, the customer is guided step-by-step. With no complicated instructions or lengthy registration, customers are less likely to abandon their payment. Conversions, and customer satisfaction, increase.’

Accepting Micropayments with mENABLE is an ideal way to pay for low value items such as web services, downloadable software, online subscriptions, memberships, plus tickets and online content. mENABLE provides merchants product code for each item on offer and once the micro billed transaction is completed, the customer is given a PIN number which they then use to purchase the product.

txtNation executives see the opportunity for continuing to evolve this product past competitor’s offerings and thus allowing the widgets to evolve to its fullest. Even further opportunities in open source websites software are becoming visible. For instance, Facebook and MySpace plug-in providers are huge in today’s social societies. txtNation sees this as a popular option for integration due to the ease and expansion possibilities for more customization.
