Taking Care of Business

This is about financial stuff, and it's not really your job to care about that, but I still think this is cool and wanted to share it with you.

People are buying stuff on our website, and although the level of sales is much lower than Steam it has been growing. Unlike Steam, sales through our website are not dependent on a third party and cannot be endangered by flooded marketplaces, strange decisions, and other random events.

Every customer I checked who used a credit card has kept it on file for further purchases. The credit card number isn't actually stored on our server, and I never see it. Instead, PayPal stores the number and we store a token that can only be used for purchases through this domain, so it is impossible for a hacker to steal your credit card from our site. I feel better doing things this way because it's much safer for everyone.

Anyways, having a customer who has the ability to buy anything they want on your site at a moment's notice is a very good thing. You give them a good product and they can easily buy it, if it is something they want.

This is what I hoped to see by introducing these features to the site, so it is nice to see it working. Thank you for your support! I will work hard to bring you more great software.

Good luck with attracting more people to buy stuff through the website. Its always a good thing to stay independent and I prefer the marketplace here over the steam workshop, although I do not really use it at all.

My personal reason's for rather buying through steam is because of the payment options.
90% of the dutch people do not have/use a creditcard.
And the paypal payments are not always as smooth as it should be.
Sometimes even fails in a way you end up paying twice.
Steam gives us the option to pay through "IDEAL" which is a secure and instant transfer.
but i think the IDEAL service is national only, i'm not sure about that.
anyway i'm not saying you should change anything just giving my personal reasons why i prefer steam payments.
I do think it's a good thing leadwerks becomes "Independent".

My point of view. I'm from Colombia, I have two products in Steam APP GAme Kit and Leadwerks, the way to access these products is through a third party that resells games in Colombia, he earns a commission and sends me the gift product in steam. Unfortunately I have no other payment options.
