We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Alex G. from Ukraine, who is a software engineer that uses SWREG, a Digital River MyCommerce Solution, as an E-commerce solution for his business:

“The history of our relations with the processing systems began more than 10 years ago. In those days we exposed our software that supports printing from DOS-applications, on new computers running Windows for the very first time.  Suddenly the software sparked interest and we got people from different countries willing to pay for a software license key. Living in a former USSR country meant that all payment methods would not work for buyers worldwide. So, we started to look for a partner who would accept and process our payments.

In those days there were about two dozen different processing systems, but we did not have a wide choice. We offered inexpensive software for a wide range of users: organizations, businesses and individuals. We had to find a processing center, that will allow to receive payments in as many ways as possible, with a reasonable commission deducted.

So we went for the British company SWREG, who already had a solid reputation and experience. They offered the best range of services:  processing credit and debit cards, different payment systems, PayPal, SWIFT-transfers and checks as well.

We have been working with SWREG for years. In the intervening years many companies disappeared and processing systems left the market, but SWREG joined Digital River along with other known brands such as RegNow and ShareIt. Our cooperation was not affected by these changes and all issues are still being solved very quickly.

Two years ago we decided to use a prepaid debit card, powered by Payoneer, in order to receive payments from our processing center. Payoneer is an extremely good solution that gives greater flexibility and versatility to our marketing model.

Now we are preparing to release a new product and reviewing the market for processing systems. We have not decided yet, but platforms offered by Digital River are the first in our rating. Most likely we will continue our cooperation with Digital River… “
