Is it really free…

“Zero” commitment! “The TrialPay Payment Platform is absolutely free to use. We never charge you for payment processing. We never charge you for customer service. We never charge you period.” “TrialPay also provides comprehensive merchant services (custom graphics, marketing tools and fully developed html pages) free of charge.” Source: TrialPay FAQ #14
Wow, that’s quite a promise. No bank fees? No Interchange? No credit card? Does this sound to good to be true?
So here’s how it works. If I want to purchase something and I’m willing to signup with an affiliate site then the affiliate will subsidize the product that I want to purchase. In some cases, the subsidy may entirely cover the cost of the product. In essence, I’m exchanging me and my information to an affiliate for the price of the product.
How are customers responding to this?
