| There is a 1 time set up fee of Rs.2500/- or as
per Tariff. CCePay collects only a 6.5%
commission on each sale plus a Rs.46/- charge per transaction. There
are no leases, no monthly fees, no application fees, no gateway fees
and no statement fees! |
| |
| How do I fill orders? |
| As soon as customers place an order you will
receive detailed order information via email from CCePay so you
can view the order. Detailed records of each transaction are also
stored on our servers and can be accessed by you using our Merchant
Login Screens. |
| |
| Is there a maximum number
of products I can sell? |
| No. |
| |
| Is there a maximum Rupee
INR "Rs." amount of sales I can conduct each month? |
| No. |
| |
| How and when will I be
paid? |
| Suppliers with Indian Bank accounts will have
payments electronically deposited directly to any bank account at
very nominal cost as per Tariff Scheme.
Suppliers without a Indian Bank account can have their payments
option via international wire payment. Fees for an international
wire start at Rs.1550/- $35 and go down Rs.250/-$6 per transfer.
Each accounting period is 15 days in length. A new period begins the
1st and 16th day of each month.
All transactions that occur within this period will be processed
and payments will be dispersed as follows:
- Payment for orders shipped between the 1st and the 15th of the
month will be dispersed on or about the 16th of that month.
- Payment for orders shipped between the 16th and the end of the
month will be dispersed on or about the 1st of the following
month.
If your sales are over Rs.50, 000/- ($1,000) a week, weekly
disbursements are possible. Weekly disbursements are reviewed on a
case by case basis.
Example of criteria that may influence your approval for weekly
payments:
- Transactions on your account occurring for 8 weeks with little
or no buyer complaints, or charge back problems,
- Your sales greatly exceed Rs.50, 000/- a week,
- You can provide sales contracts or other documentation proving
the legitimacy of your orders,
- You can provide suitable business references or other
documentation establishing a concrete business history.
Account Verification:
All new accounts will be subjected to our account verification
processes. While this process is usually seamless, difficulty in
verifying the legitimacy and status of your account can result in
the delay of your initial payments.
If your account has not been
cleared for release of payment within three (3) days of the close of
a payment period (1st and 16th of each calendar month) you will
receive a notification via email of the delay in payment.
Important Note:
Suppliers selling tangible goods should not expect payment until
CCePay can confirm receipt of goods shipped and received as per
the terms advertised on the supplier's website or auction. Delaying
shipment until you receive funds is not considered an acceptable
business practice.
Suppliers selling intangible goods such as service related
products (e-downloads, hosting, etc.) should not expect payment
until CCePay can confirm that your services have been rendered.
Suppliers who establish a new account within five (5) days of a
payment cycle release date will not receive a disbursement of funds
until the next payment period ends (approximately two (2) weeks).
All Payments are subject to Reserve Funds
stipulated below.
|
| |
| How and when will I be
paid? |
| CCePay holds a reserve for chargebacks,
refunds, in event the supplier goes out of business, becomes
unreachable or simply stops processing sales through CCePay.
For all new accounts the reserve begins at 5% of the total amount
charged and not refunded within the payment period. The reserve
amount is held for 180 days and then released.
Reserve Example (5% Reserve Level, 180 day
hold):
June 1st payment cycle
Rs.120 in sales
Rs. 20 in refunds from sales in this payment period
Rs. 10 in refunds from sales in a previous payment period
The reserve held would be Rs.5 or ( (Rs.120 Rs.20) * 5% ).
Under this example the Rs.5 would be released to you on the December
1st payment cycle. |
| |
| How and when will I be
paid? |
The amount of reserve and the period of time it is
held can be adjusted either higher or lower by CCePay at its
sole discretion. Factors that can influence reserve levels:
- Transaction, refund and chargeback history with CCePay,
- Transaction, refund and chargeback history with a merchant
account provider ( statements required ),
- Suitable business references or other documentation
establishing a concrete business history,
- The nature of the product being sold,
- The time required until product fulfillment ( i.e. a one year
membership ).

order tracking depends on having the customer input their orders on
our SSL secure order page. An exception to this policy can be

approval
from CCePay.com management, and is issued on a 'this time
only, per order' basis. |

| |
| What are CCePay's
refund and dispute policies? |
| We prefer that customers contact you directly to
request a refund. If a customer contacts us we will refer them to
you to resolve the issue and let them know that if they are not
satisfied with your resolution that they may contact us for
resolution. You should also let customers know that they can contact
us to mediate the dispute if they are dissatisfied with your
proposed resolution.
In most situations when a customer asks for a refund, we believe
that it is good business to grant that refund. Here are some
guidelines on our refund and dispute policies:
- If a customer is dissatisfied with a product that he/she has
ordered, the supplier should accept the product back and grant a
refund. If desired, a supplier may specify that shipping charges
are not refundable; however we would prefer to refund the
shipping charges as well.
- If a customer claims that a product was never received, we
will grant a refund unless the supplier can show proof of
delivery. If you are shipping expensive items (or if the
customer is returning expensive items), please be sure to use a
shipping method that provides proof of delivery.
Keep in mind that if the customer presses the issue with his/her
credit card company it can result in a charge back
or forced refund from the credit card company thereby adding
additional by Charge Back Fee expense to you.

| |
| How can I cancel or
refund an order after it's been placed? |
| You can easily issue refunds or cancel orders
through the Merchant Administration Interface. |
| |
| How Can I reduce the
occurrence of customer disputes? |
- If you are shipping expensive items, use a package service
that provides proof of delivery. There will always be some
customers out there who falsely claim that a package was not
received (and occasionally there will be packages that truly are
lost or stolen). Since you bear the responsibility for those
losses, you should take care not to put large amounts of money
at risk.
Hint: The Indian & US Post Office provides
insurance on packages for a small fee that has the side effect
of causing the receiver of the package to sign and indicate that
the parcel arrived undamaged.
- Be accessible if customers can reach you to have their
questions answered about products they are less likely to be
dissatisfied when the order arrives.
- Be sure that customers are completely familiar with your
offering before they order. Thoroughly describe your offering,
show photos, and disclosing any important limitations. Ensuring
the customer's expectations match what arrives in the mail will
save you and the customer time, money and aggravation.

| Does CCePay use SSL
encryption? |

| Do I need to pay for an

| |
| What is a chargeback
dispute? |
| A chargeback dispute is a forced refund from a
customer's credit card company. It occurs when a cardholder decides
to formally dispute a charge on his/her credit card bill, often
because someone else fraudulently used that card number before the
abuse had been discovered or reported. Chargeback disputes occur on
less than 1% of all CCePay transactions.
According to credit card association rules, Internet merchants
must accept credit card fraud as part of the normal risk of doing
business on the Internet.
The amount of credit card fraud you experience will vary
according to the type of products you sell. Products which appeal to
children, teenagers, and unmarried men will experience a higher
degree of credit card fraud. Products which are purchased primarily
by professionals, women, and families will experience a lower amount
of fraud.
When an issuing bank sends a chargeback dispute, the bank also
charges a research fee. This fee can range from Rs.500/- $10 to
Rs.1500/- $30 depending on the bank. CCePay reserves the right to
pass the bank's charge back fee on to Merchant involved. |
