I have managed to secure a new payment processor for Bound2Burst. We are still in the setup stages and it will be some weeks before I can begin using it, but at least it's coming.

Unfortunately, the payment processor does only that, process payments. They do not handle the downloads. Rather than attempt to handle the entire B2B library manually, a task that was overwhelming back in 2009 and would be even worse now, I am setting up an OpenCart store to sell B2B content, and it is via this that the new payment processor will operate. OpenCart enables me to add downloads and link them to the products shown in the store, so it will work just like a normal shop. It will sell only downloads.

Setting up OpenCart is going to take a while. There are quite a lot of steps and a considerable amount of learning involved. I suspect I shall set things up incorrectly and have to start again from scratch, although I may be spared some of that by the kind assistance of the owner of HD Wetting who has walked me through the early stages. There's also some good online documentation, so even a dinosaur like me will get there in the end

Even when everything is up and running, adding the entire B2B library will take some months. Once it is done it should (I hope!) be permanent. Initially, of course, I will concentrate on selling the newer items and work on the library in my spare time.

Great news!

Also, that's damned good sport from the owner of HD Wetting. I've a good mind to go thank him on a forum he and I are both on...and will have to buy a few more of his movies as kudos, hehe.

We are now in the final stages of setup so should begin trading from our new store in the next couple of days. I will post information here when we launch. Naturally, the new store only contains a tiny sample of our library at the moment (enough content was added to obtain approval from the processor's bank). I shall concentrate on adding new material to the store initially, and also provide access to collections such as Naked Wait and the Just Made It compilations, etc., which are always popular. Eventually the entire library will be added but this is a huge job and will take a considerable amount of time.

Once the store is active, the PayPal option will be removed. Prices in the new store will be similar to the prices I've used via PayPal.
