Hi Keri & Aaron, Thank you very much for the feedback, I have passed directly to the branch manager. We are currently looking at ways we can make the hosted payments page more dynamic so this is a good time to have suggestions.
Also, on the note of comparing products, thank you for the comments James. It is not appropriate for me to comment on any other entities product or service except DPS's. Some of the feedback (asside from the points Aaron made) from my clients in a direct comparison is that they feel they have more control with DPS. Because we link directly to the merchant account at the bank, our clients get access to their funds right away (no stand down or waiting period), with other solutions this can become more difficult and delayed. Also the banks have the ability to provide a more competitive merchant service rate (percentage fee) than other entities. So DPS clients fees often end up lower overall (per transaction). I realise also that there is a market for both solutions so I do not see them as competing directly.
