Levy this interview with the ceo of planet payment is interesting........I have pasted here the parts where he talks about why he picked Authorize.net and the japanlink deal.......for full article see the link...... planetpayment.com after hitting this link hit Interview with Planet Payment CEO Philip Beck It would seem to me that "powered by Authorize.net" could be a very lucrative area for GNET......and plava I know your still reading this.....you can't help yourself, thats ok.....its international, its interntional! .... and playa don't worry about that pimple it usually doesn't leave a scar...and Levy stop picking on people, it not nice, especially when they are not here to defend themselves As you may know, Authorized Net is the largest authorization gateway in the world. It was recently acquired by Go2Net. They have in excess of 58,000 merchants and what we liked about the gateway is the fact that it integrates with most of the popular shopping carts. Which means that if your site uses one of the hundred plus solutions that are already integrated with the Planet Payment gateway, technologically, it's a very straightforward 15 to 20 minute procedure to integrate the gateway to the website. In our experience, that was one of the most difficult things that merchants have to deal with. When they build a site, it has to be compatible and integrate with a payment solution. So that's the first issue. Japan Link is an interesting example. The goal is for merchants to localize their websites in different markets; the technology companies need to do the same thing. If you have an English-language shopping cart or catalog, you need to have a localized version of that in local currency and local language in the markets that you are selling to, to match the look and feel and substance of the website. Japan Link are a good partner for us in the Japanese market; they can use their localized shopping carts, together with our payment systems, to support the needs of Japanese merchants.
