We needed to offer our merchants from all over the globe access to these 350 million+ customers, especially because of the fact that mobile users here are comfortable with mobile payments." boxPAY's technology provides merchants the ability to charge customers for digital content through a mobile phone instead of a credit card. The platform can be integrated into a merchant website from boxPAY.com, a self-service website, in minutes.

Co-Founder Iain McConnon said, "We have negotiated especially favourable payment terms with connection providers in these regions to ensure our merchant base gets the best payouts across the industry. With our connections in the US and Canada, this brings the number of countries boxPAY is available in to over 40. With our eye on Asia next, we hope to be in over 60 countries by Q3."

boxPAY has released a new subscription service for online merchants who wish to repeat bill customers in Australia

Dublin, Ireland; December 19, 2011 – boxPAY, a mobile payments provider for web merchants, game developers, and other e-businesses, has released a new subscription service for online merchants who wish to repeat bill customers in Australia. With this feature, boxPAY merchants can offer their customers the option to opt-in to make automated payments through their mobile phone.

boxPAY utilizes SMS and direct carrier billing, and offers merchants the ability to charge customers for digital content through a mobile phone instead of a credit card. The platform can be integrated into a merchant website from boxPAY.com, a self-service website, in minutes. Using boxPAY, customers can make a purchase on a merchant website with no pre-registration required, and the charge is added to their mobile bill or deducted from a prepaid balance. With the subscription billing service now available in Australia, customers can opt-in to a subscription so their phone is automatically billed. How often a customer is charged will depend on the billing frequency of the merchant subscription program. For example, if a customer wants to opt-in for a weekly subscription for a digital edition of a newspaper for $2 AUD, each week their mobile phone would receive a text message confirming this transaction.

Iain McConnon, Co-Founder of boxPAY, said "Subscription mobile payments are a service that was previously unavailable in the mobile billing industry. This opportunity is a way for web merchants to use mobile billing to engage customers on a repeat basis, instead of just one-time purchases. Additionally, boxPAY will provide a full API developers guide and technical support to any merchant who wishes to integrate subscription billing."

boxPAY is offering merchants the opportunity to sign-up for subscription billing in Australia at no charge by clicking here, or visiting www.boxpay.com

boxPAY Mobile Billing Offers Press and Media New Platform to Monetize Digital Content; Charge Readers for Information Through Mobile Phones

Dublin, Ireland; November 8, 2011 – boxPAY Ltd., a provider of SMS-based mobile billing services to web merchants, is opening up their global billing platform to press and media as a new way to charge readers for digital content. By implementing the boxPAY payment system on a website, a company can charge readers for specific content that a customer is interested in purchasing, as opposed to requiring a full subscription. The customer pays a small amount and this charge is applied to their mobile phone bill, or deducted from their pre-paid balance. The boxPAY billing service is now available in over 35 countries worldwide.

"A challenge news and media outlets often face is figuring out how to make money from their content outside of subscription services and advertising. Readers often encounter payment walls that restrict further access to a story or content, and require readers to commit to a lengthy subscription. This interrupts the user experience and can result in lost readership and revenue" says Co-Founder Gavin McConnon.

boxPAY works by providing a company with billing code that produces a simple payment box on their website. When a reader wishes to gain one-time access to premium content, the payment box prompts them to send a text message to complete the purchase. The transaction is complete in seconds, and content is available immediately. No lengthy forms or additional payment screens are necessary.

Iain McConnon, boxPAY’s Co-Founder, expanded "We have created a solution for media companies to charge one time, small amounts for a story, e-book, or other content. This creates a new revenue stream for press and media companies, enabling them to monetize customers who do not have access to credit cards. Companies using boxPAY will see a large increase in the number of transactions completed versus using traditional billing methods."

Any web merchant can register at no cost to use this service on boxPAY.com

Dublin, Ireland; June 13, 2011 – boxPAY Ltd, a new mobile technology firm created by brothers Gavin and Iain McConnon, has introduced an SMS-based mobile payment platform for web merchants and game developers.

boxPAY is hiring for a variety of positions, including Account Managers, Developers, Accountants, Database Administrators and Carrier Relationship Managers. Iain McConnon explained "Dublin has fast become a European hub for tech-central companies.
