How can we help businesses grow beyond just payments? We’ve come up with an idea that we’d like to “beta test” with a very small number of customers. The programme we’re trying would basically send traffic to your web site and hopefully convert into paying customers – something that I’m sure every startup can need
If you’re about to launch your product in the near future and you accept daopay, please e-mail a short description of what you’re doing to andreas at daopay dot com and I’ll get back to you within a couple of days.

Quicker Payments, More Sales in 4 European Countries
July 1, 2009Our experience shows that shorter call durations lead to higher sales volumes for merchants. A local presence with domestic phone numbers is the key to making calls significantly shorter: where it takes 5 minutes to complete a payment with an international call, a customer can dial a domestic number to pay the same amount within only 30 seconds – done!
This month, we are making these quicker phone payments available to more than 8 million consumers in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Macedonia. The numbers in these countries have already gone online on July 1st and you can start using them immediately: if you have made your products available in “All Countries” in the Control Center, there’s nothing you need to change; otherwise, please log in now and simply click the respective checkboxes.

A Fresh and Friendly Voice for German Customers
July 1, 2009
With the increasing number of calls we’re processing globally, we want to make sure that everyone who calls us remembers having a positive, friendly experience when paying with us. This month we’ve asked Anja, a female speaker from Germany, to record new announcements for our German callers - and we’re more than pleased with the results. But just hear it yourself – it’s a pleasure to listen to Anja, even if you don’t speak German

Hungary Lifting Sales Tax to 25%
July 1, 2009Starting July 1st, Hungary is raising their VAT (sales tax) from 20% to 25%. Merchants who sell to Hungarian customers may want to adapt their prices accordingly in order to keep the same payouts. The easiest adjustment is to multiply your current end user price with 1.05.

Welcome to the updated Control Center!
July 1, 2009We have given the Control Center a little – long overdue – polish. It’s the first step in an ongoing process to improve the overall look and friendliness of our interface. No worries: you’ll still easily find your way through all the functions you need – everything stayed at its place, so you don’t need to learn anything new.
You’ll notice that we’ve added three new elements to the welcome page:
- Earnings overview. A convenient chart showing the current month’s
total earnings in your account currency. - Last and Next Payout. Your last and next payout dates and amounts,
so you’ll always know when you’ll receive your funds. - News. Current news and information about changes or upcoming events.
What’s also new is that we’re now showing a default view when you click on a menu item.
We hope you find these changes helpful and appreciate your feedback and comments!
