Casmiro.com Partners with Amazon to Enable Payments for Casmiro’s Leading Pay-to-Access Video Platform

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Francisco, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 28, 2011 -- Casmiro.com: Casmiro, the #1 online video distribution platform for pay-to-access content, today announced they have decided to use Amazon.com payment services as their primary method of payment capture for their online pay-to-access video technology. Since late 2009, they have tested the use of multiple payment gateways to allow their filmmakers to charge for streaming video content, though revenue increases from Q3 2010 to Q1 2011 up to 64% have been linked with filmmakers using Amazon.com payment services.

VP of Development at Casmiro said, “Our initial concept was to choose a payment vendor that was open source, well known and widely accessible to minimize customer payment friction. We tried a variety of payment gateways including Paypal.com, however the results spoke for themselves. It appears that majority of independent filmmaker audiences have an Amazon.com account tied to a credit card and are willing to login to use it to buy the filmmakers streaming video content through our platform. There was a direct correlation of increased revenues, up to 64% in Q1 of 2011, with our filmmakers that used Amazon Payment Services to accept payment. It’s our job to help our filmmakers sell video online and we choose only the best vendors; Amazon and Facebook.com just happen to be two of them. Amazon.com is on the cutting edge of payment services and open source development platforms, and we’re glad to use them to complement our unique pay-to-access video platform for filmmakers.”
