Online Topups on Hayai Broadband

[mgcarley]

--Nothing like Citibank Payment gateway.. Better than ICICI/HDFC/Axis ! I guess surcharge is less on Axis payment gateway. I'm commenting as i book Indian Railway tickets from IRCTC Online Passenger Reservation System and in their payment gateway its mentioned which bank gateway attracts less surcharge! Probably it will be same elsewere.
--Moreover ITZ recharge cards is a good option too these days.
--Tie up with billdesk,as almost all online payments eg. credit card bill payments,mobile bill,etc are done by this only.
--And yeah one more great billing site: www.visabillpay.in

I'll check Citi, and wrt Axis: the question is "Does the Axis gateway *work* well?"
Will check out ITZ
and Billdesk
and Visabillpay.

I think we have enough options now...


[*]Credit Cards: Billdesk. Our US-based processor (for Paypal). Citi and ICICI, unless they can be taken care of by Billdesk.
[*]Debit Cards: CCAvenue, ITZ. MChek.
[*]Netbanking. All banks with our payment account details.
[*]Other: E-Topups via Kiosks & Local stores, Cheque, Cash (to our office only).
[/list]
That should do.

Will you have district offices? Would make dropping off the cash or cheque much easier.

Define "district"... what we're thinking for cash is these https://broadband.forum/hayai-broadband/59354-online-topups-hayai-broadband/3/#post393966

In retrospect, I'm wondering if we should accept cheques at all. What say you?

 

[sarkar007]

Why not accept cheques? If the internet is down, payments can still be made via cheques.

Cheques are very cumbersome, organizationally speaking - if we accept them, maybe we should accept them only at our office.

Besides, if you can make a payment by cheque which would not be instantaneous, you could instead pay by cash by visiting one of our kiosks or one of the estimated 1,000 shops in locations where we make the service available which, in turn with an automatic receipt - complete with our logo and a transaction ID - would be instantaneous.

I suggest that paypal is the most headache payment option. I frequently use ezrecharge.in where you can recharge prepaid mobiles for various service provider like Airtel,Aircel,Vodafone,Tata Docomo,Uninor,Reliance and dth too with simple payment options rather than paypal.
it has netbanking,credit card,itz cash cards,debit cards for all supported banks and its fast and secure too.

I Believe that given information will be useful

I think this is not a payment gateway. If we already have Netbanking, ITZ, Credit and Debit cards through other channels, this would not be of much use.

Paypal, while inherently a stupid system in itself, has the potential use for all those web-designers working from home in India who get paid by Paypal, and as such *may* be of use in that they wouldn't have to pull the money to their bank account first and so on and so forth. Even then, it would be just one of a multitude of options.

As for ezrecharge.in, we could potentially approach them and ask if they would like to be a reseller, in particular, as it seems, when we launch in Chennai.
