Vendor Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What's the $200 set up fee for?
A. The $200 US PDF Store sign up fee covers the administration costs that are involved with setting up a new vendor through PDF Store and has to be paid by credit card upfront.
Q. How much do vendors get paid?
A. You will receive 70% of all sales made through our PDF Store, and you will receive a payment in the first week of each month. In addition, we will also provide a breakdown report of the details of your sales. These will be kept in the strictest confidence and will not be redistributed. We will generally distribute payment in Australian Dollars, however US Dollar bank drafts can be arranged for a fee of US$15 and telegraphic (wire) transfers for US$30. There will be monthly distributions unless you ask us to hold payment over prior to the 1st of each month.
You can have payment made in foreign currency bank drafts (US$15 fee) or via wire transfer (US$30 fee)
Q. Is your store secure? How does your security work?
A. All of our online store transactions use a digital certificate for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) transactions. digital certificates offer strong RSA-based encryption for secure transactions and allow a wider variety of browsers to be used than with certificates from other companies. Netscape Navigator versions starting at 2.0 are supported as well as Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0 and above. All of this means that your credit card information is sent directly to the credit card processor in a very secure manner, so that nobody else can see it. That protects you by ensuring that nobody but you and the credit card processor will see your card.
Q. Is it safe for my customers to use their credit cards on the Internet?
A. This depends on how carefully a site has worked to ensure your credit card information is kept secret. We have taken great precautions to ensure that customer's credit card information is kept secret. RSA security is generally regarded as some of the strongest that is available -- please visit their site for more information - http://www.rsa.com/. With the security precautions in place, orders are as secure as phoning into a mail-order software house.
Q. Who provides fulfillment of the order?
A. We fulfill all orders for you (electronic sales), and send you monthly tabulations of sales (and funds).
We require the following for electronic delivery:
- Demonstration version of your software - this should be limited in some way (feature or time disabled).
- Release version of your software. n.b. not required for serial number "registrations".
- Serial numbers - these should be in the form of a text file containing the first 100 serial numbers. We will dispatch a new serial number to each customer. You will be notified when the serial numbers are running low so that we can replenish our supply.
Q. How does the actual purchasing process work?
A. When a customer clicks on the "checkout" button for your product, they are required to create or login to an existing account. When the customer finalizes their order clicks on the "process order" button the "secure" padlock will appear in the customer's web-browser. Only after validation is the purchase authorized. That is, unauthorized purchasers will be rejected at this point. We are particularly careful about checking for fraudulent cards. An authorized customer is then allowed to download the release version of your product through an http:// link. This link is valid for a short time only. They are also sent an e-mail receipt at this point (assuming that their e-mail address was valid). If a serial number is to be supplied with the product, then it is included with this email.
