Trialpay.com - Pay by Trying Something New

TrialPay allows you to buy an item from a network of affiliated merchants, and then receive a free sample item from another vendor in that same network. It provides a friendly service that makes it easy to get online products for free when you try or buy from their network of partners. Some of their featured partners include eBay, Vonage, Lancôme, T-Mobile, Gap, and Blockbuster, among many others. Just select the TrialPay payment option on your favorite merchant sites to get your product free. Then pick a TrialPay offer. You’ll find hundreds of offers including premier shopping sites, online music and even stuff for kids. When you successfully complete an offer, TrialPay pays for your item, so you get it 100% free. You will receive a confirmation email from TrialPay with details on how to receive your free product. But TrialPay also helps companies acquire new customers and earn more from existing site visitors in the software, publishing, online services, games, and traditional retail goods industries. It provides merchants an alternative way for their costumers to pay for their product. TrialPay matches the consumer with the best advertiser in order to deliver high-value consumers to its advertising partners on a cost-per-acquisition basis.

“TrialPay is a rapidly growing online payment company backed by the investors of Skype, Google, and Akamai. TrialPay was founded in 2006 but originated from real world e-commerce problems over numerous years including technologies developed by TrialPay's founders. Currently, over 250 merchants use TrialPay and more than one million consumers have gone through TrialPay to purchase an item. The company currently employs approximately 50 people worldwide and is headquartered in Mountain View, CA.”

TrialPay was born from the realization that a customer who is not willing to buy one particular product may still have incredible value to another advertiser. The fact is that millions of people try and browse software and digital content without ever paying for it; millions more "window shop" online without ever buying. By using this alternative payment system consumers receive free products, merchants can generate significant incremental revenue and advertisers receive profitable new customers.

Is TrialPay changing the online payment landscape? Will consumers want or need more than they bargained for? Will they add to the site more information for consumers?
