SwiftCD offers Custom On-Demand CD/DVDs and Fulfillment with PayPal

New IPN Interface gives PayPal software authors, musicians and other merchants a complete on-demand CD/DVD manufacturing and fulfillment solution

ATLANTA, GA – August 13th, 2003 – SwiftCD today announced an on-demand CD and DVD fulfillment interface with PayPal. The solution uses PayPal’s IPN (Instant Payment Notification) to interface with SwiftCD automatically, thus enabling PayPal merchants to offer on-demand CDs and DVDs from their web sites. The merchant pays no signup or setup fees, contents of the discs can be changed at any time, and SwiftCD manufactures, packs and ships a custom CD/DVD on behalf of the merchant each time an order takes place.

“We’re thrilled to be offering our solution to PayPal merchants via the PayPal IPN interface,” said Jason Foodman, Chief Executive Officer, SwiftCD.com. “The PayPal IPN solution was flexible and robust, we were able to implement a complete solution quickly and easily. Now PayPal members selling software, music, or other data on their site can give their site visitors a CD/DVD-delivery option without having to manufacture in advance, warehouse, pack and ship their products – we handle everything on-demand at the time an actual order takes place.”

“Our customers kept asking us for an option to purchase our Text to Speech software via PayPal, but because of the nature of our product we had to have CD delivery,” said Rick Ellis, President, NextUp.com. “We set up the new SwiftCD PayPal IPN interface and now we have a PayPal-driven shopping cart solution on our site that automatically generates the CD orders to SwiftCD for on-demand manufacturing and fulfillment. The solution has worked flawlessly and we’re already seeing improved sales because of the new payment alternative.” The NextUp PayPal offering can be seen at www.nextup.com.

“This is a great example of an innovative and useful extension of the PayPal technology using our IPN interface,” said Dave McClure, Director of PayPal Developer Network. “SwiftCD is a market leader in on-demand custom CD and DVD manufacturing and fulfillment so we’re pleased to see them integrating with PayPal and to offer this new capability to our members with websites and online stores.” PayPal has more than 30 million member accounts and is available to users in 38 countries including the United States.
