Dragonpay has its target audience in countries where only a small percentage of the population uses credit cards (or has the ability to even possess one) and most of the transactions are done using cash. Now, for merchants who do their trades online, this is a major issue of concern since they might simply lose their chance with the audience due to inadequate freedom when it comes to payment options. For such scenarios, Yapsody has introduced Dragonpay and its amazing payment methods to make things easier for our presenters and customers.

Basically, Dragonpay offers the following modes of payment for the customers:

1. ONLINE BANKING: This is the regular net banking that we’re all familiar with. If you have an account in the local bank, you can make online payments that’ll be debited against the same in real-time.
2. OVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC) BANKING: Dragonpay allows customers to walk in any of the recognized local bank branches and deposit the payment over-the-counter of which the merchants will be notified as soon as the payment is made.
3. OTC NON-BANK: This method differs from OTC Banking in only one aspect – the counters don’t belong to banks. Rather, they’re either retailer stores or other partner branches where you can make the cash payments.

While your customers will enjoy these cash features even when you choose an online ticketing system, you, as a presenter will also be in for a treat by Dragonpay.

1. SECURITY for the customer as well as the presenter. Customers won’t have to disclose credit card information online (which is very vulnerable to hacks) and presenters are also protected from credit card frauds. Plus, there’s a no cash-back policy which ensures that once you have been paid, you’ll remain paid.
2. BIGGER MARKET for presenters who wish to conduct events in countries like Philippines where credit cards aren’t a big buzz. You can still have good sales with other methods of payment that Dragonpay offers you.
3. LOWER COST since Dragonpay has a fixed fee per transaction policy, instead of a fixed percentage of the gross sales, which offers a higher profit margin to the presenters.

So, presenters, we eagerly await your response to this new Yapsody feature. As you’ve already seen how amazing it is, do try it out and watch it working for your best.

In a world where people don’t hesitate to find true love online, online ticketing has definitely won over more hearts than we think it has. With practically our whole day timed to seconds, it’s impossible to find a sliver of time to go fetch the retailer who’s selling the tickets to the event you’ve been waiting for since you were a kid, maybe. And if you can get the same thing in a fraction of a second (that implies no change in your to-the-second schedule) simply by a few clicks here and there, why not do that? Having already listed one very important feature that’s admired by customers about online event ticketing (that is, it saves time), we move on to telling you a few more in this blog. 

FAST AND UN-FURIOUS

When customers were asked around about the features that incline them towards using the online ticketing system, roughly 85% attributed their inclination towards three reasons – it’s fast, favorable, and simple.

The process is short and really quick, and you can get done with it while you’re in your cab on your way back home from work, or halfway through your dinner. All you’ve to do is make a few selections, make the payment though well-known gateways, obtain the e-ticket and you’re done! Plus, you won’t have to do a lot of asking around for the types of tickets that are available or whether there are discounts you can avail, because most of it will be flashing at you on your mobile screens, like innocent puppies waiting to be adopted and taken home.

Also, it’s perfectly okay if the show is in less than a few hours and your wife is yelling at you for never doing anything right, because this time you’ll be able to prove it to her that you’re a darling by obtaining the tickets to the show, all thanks to the 24/7 availability of online tickets.

IT’S SECURE AND, WELL, SWEET!

“Sweet?! Oh, Don’t be ridiculous!”

“IT LETS ME CHOOSE MY OWN SEAT! How is that NOT sweet?”

People like to know what they are paying for, and they definitely LOVE it if they get to choose what they’re paying for. Nothing pleases customers as much as wide range of choices do. When they are offered different types of seats at different rates with different views and amenities, they realize the worth of their money and this helps them enjoy the event without any hint of uncertainties spinning in their minds. Also, the payment gateways are secure, and most of the time your order is displayed before you confirm it. That way, you’ll never be fooled by anyone. Not even your own mistakes.

STAY HUNGRY FOR THE ‘FEED’BACK

Whenever you use an online ticketing system, make sure your customers put in comments about the things they liked or disliked about it. If they’re not reviewing it, it only means you’ve not done a job good enough to get to their hearts. Make sure you have little feedback forms for your attendees after an event so that they understand you’re open to criticism and are always up for improvement. After all, the only thing that’s supposed to be constant is change.
