Welcome to the FairPay Web site.
This page is to provide general background on the
FairPay concept for buyers of products and services.
|
Customers
-- Pay only what seems fair to you:
-
Pay what you want
for products or services -- after you try them
-
Make every purchase
on a trial basis--so you can always be sure to get fair value
for your money
-
Agree to set your
price fairly--in your judgment--and explain why you think
it is fair
-
Do that as long
as you can convince the seller that you are being fair
|
FairPay is a radically new approach to pricing
for the 21st Century. It is especially well suited to digital content,
products and services
Special Notes and FAQ for ennovent users
Ennovent is employing the FairPay pricing process, with
assistance from Teleshuttle. During
early stages of this testing, some supplementary information
specific to the ennovent trial is provided on this Teleshuttle
site.

information on FairPay is provided below, and elsewhere on
this site.

-
FairPay is a participative
pricing process that combines the high degree of user freedom of
pay-what-you-want pricing with a new level of feedback, accountability,
and seller control of future offers to make it fair to both buyers and
sellers.
-
FairPay looks beyond
individual transactions to work over the course of an ongoing
buyer-seller relationship, and is generally used in combination with
conventional pricing alternatives.
-
FairPay is based on an
ongoing dialog about the fairness of value exchanged in each transaction
to lead to a fair exchange, and to adapt to variations in value, and in
opinions about value.
-
FairPay pricing is treated
as a privilege. Buyers who engage in fair cooperative behavior can
find this process to be liberating, flexible, and highly productive --
and a natural form of communication and teamwork toward a common
objective of win-win value exchange.
-
Buyers who are judged by the
seller to fail to set and explain prices in a responsible way may find
that privilege revoked, and then be limited to a conventional fixed
pricing relationship. It is incumbent on buyers to give reasonable
explanations for their pricing, especially when prices are set below
suggested levels, and on sellers to give reasonable consideration to
such explanations from buyers.
(The particulars of how FairPay
processes work for a particular business will vary depending on the
situation.)
The FairPay process is an
entirely new way to conduct business, and can be expected to take some time and
experimentation to fully develop and to find best practices. We customers
will see the potential value of FairPay relationships to them, and will work
with their sellers to try to jointly learn how to make FairPay processes work
well for everyone.
Note: The
details of a seller's use of FairPay pricing are completely determined by
the seller, so any questions or issues related to a particular seller's use
of FairPay pricing should be directed to that seller.
The FairPay process was invented by Richard
Reisman of Teleshuttle Corporation, and first made public in June, 2010.
Teleshuttle works with sellers and seller services to help them create
FairPay offerings to their customers.
Feedback:
While Teleshuttle has no responsibility for how
FairPay is applied by sellers, feedback on buyer experience with FairPay is
welcome, so that we may learn from your experience and seek to improve
understanding of FairPay processes, and to recommend best practices to
sellers. Teleshuttle serves as a resource for sellers, buyers,
and support services to assist in implementing improved ways to do business
that benefit both buyers and sellers.
Buyer feedback on general issues relating to
FairPay may be sent to: FPbuyers@teleshuttle.com.
