Recently, PayPal announced that they are increasing their processing fees on all PayPal accounts by keeping the fixed portion of their transaction processing fee in the event of a refund. This fixed-fee portion is typically $0.30 per transaction. The fee change is slated to take effect in August of this year.

We’re pleased to tell you that ClickBank is not increasing any of our own fees as a result of this PayPal change, nor will we pass this fee through to our clients for PayPal transactions processed through ClickBank. We appreciate your business, and are committed to providing you with the best e-commerce platform possible. Thanks for doing business with ClickBank!

Starting early next week, ClickBank will improve the way vendors place test orders for their products.

Currently, each specific product is placed in Test Mode using the My Products menu. In the new testing method, vendors can generate a test credit card number that is usable only for their products, and which expires after 24 hours for security purposes. This card information is generated using the My Site page, and can be used to place test purchases for any product in the vendor’s account, whether it has been approved or not.

This new testing method will allow vendors to place test purchases of their products while they are still available for sale, which was not possible before. In addition, we will now send Instant Notifications for test purchases, allowing vendors to verify that Instant Notifications are working properly.

We will include more detailed information in your account once the test mode process changes.
