Since CancelAds launched, we have received a bunch of questions from our early users asking us numerous things about integration of CancelAds into their websites and about the overall operation of the project. But the most popular category of questions is actually money which is quite understandable given that CancelAds is all about helping our users make extra money off their blogs and websites. So I wanted to address some of the issues I have been asked about here.

There are numerous people asking questions about how (and if) CancelAds will work in their countries so I think we should clarify it a little more. Currently the only form of payment CancelAds supports both for subscribers and for the publishers is PayPal which means that all the country-related issues should be considered from the perspective of how PayPal works for you in your country and for your subscribers in their countries.

So if you are a CancelAds publisher, you should think about two things: how your subscribers will pay you for their CancelAds subscriptions and how we will pay you your revenue out. Here you should obviously consider geography both for yourself and for your subscribers.

It is well known that PayPal divides the 190 countries that the service operates with into several categories: countries where users can both send, receive and withdraw money (with different withdrawal options available) and the countries where users can only send money but cannot receive anything to their accounts.

This means that just about anyone in the world with a PayPal account can pay for a CancelAds subscription. Unfortunately there is a problem for the subscribers in the countries where it is impossible to receive money because if such subscribers ever decide to discontinue their subscriptions and ask for a refund, we won’t be able to pay them back. But this limitation is not something we can do anything about so we’ll have to live with it for a while.

From a publisher’s point of view, even if your subscribers are able to pay you, you should remember that your own PayPal account should be able to receive funds from us so that we could send you your money once your account balance reaches the $50 minimum payout amount. This is what we encourage you to consider when integrating CancelAds into your website.

Of course we understand all the limitations of PayPal and we don’t want our publishers and their subscribers to be affected by these limitations so we will be sure to add other forms of payment in the future and support of micropayments via credit cards is one of our major priorities so some of the limitations will be removed in the near future.

And if you have any particular question (money-related or not), never hesitate to contact us here with your question(s) regarding any problem or concern that you have and we will be happy to help you!
