Micropayments are online transactions that are of small denominations e.g. $3, £1.50, €2, ¥300. The payment value can be higher or vary depending on your requirements.
These payments can be used for digital content purchase such as games, music, movies, comics and electronic books. Micropayments can also be used to charge for digital services such as P2P applications and access to web site member areas.
Micropayments are strategically applied in environments where high traffic volumes will yield a large aggregate return from low value transactions.
Existing methods of online payment are not well suited to items of small value purchased in high numbers. The time taken to input personal data along with the fear of potential security risks dissuades many visitors from making purchases online.
The value of this untapped potential can be realized with Surfpin micropayments:
