Alternatives

To understand the value MCP4 membership software brings to your business, it is important to understand the alternatives.

 

There are 4 main alternatives to MCP4.

1) Use a manual process

A website owner could manually send out their product after they receive a notification of a sale from their payment processor (PayPal, 2CheckOut, etc...).
The problem with this method:
  • Requires constant attention of the website owner.
  • Labor intensive, owner has to manually add new members, remove old ones, update e-mails, etc...
  • No such thing as holidays, ever! Website owner always has to be available.
  • The customer, is left in the dark. They pay, expect deliver and instead they get a message saying something like, "Please wait for website owner to contact you".
    • This leads to customer frustration & annoyance
    • Customer to contact owner asking "when" they'll get their order
    • Order cancellation and possibly a charge back!

2) Use processors own "redirect"

A website owner could get their payment processor to redirect the exact page of the product/download after payment. This has a number of huge disadvantages.
The problem with this method:
  • No security, user can easily email their friends the link or post it on a forum, etc...
  • Zero protection from fraud. A fraudulent user has access to the product and will forever!
  • If user cancels their order after a few payments, they will continue to have access forever.
  • Depending on payment processor it is possible to find out the redirect URL without having to pay at all!

3) Have a custom built application

A website owner could employ a programming team to design, develop, test and implement a custom software application that would integrate with their payment processor.
The problem with this method:
  • Very expensive, employing a team of highly skilled programmers costs a lot of money.
  • Time consuming, it takes significant about of time to develop such software.
  • Inferior result, simply put, MCP4 took 2 years to write. Unless, the website owner is willing to invest that much time & money, the result will be inferior to MCP4.
  • Long term support, significant costs involved in retaining a programming team to maintain and update software.
