New Control Panel and Changes in Purchasing the Products

Modified on Tue, 05 Dec 2023 at 06:16 PM

Dear friends, while our developers are working hard on the new version of Netpeak Checker, our web development department decided to please you with an update which we’ve been working on for the last several months. So let’s go ahead and find out the main changes to our website!

1. Products purchasing

1.1. Price revision

Previously, all the prices were rounded to the nearest dollar. For instance, when buying a yearly subscription of Netpeak Spider, you got a 30% discount, thus initial price $168 − 30% discount = $117.6, however, we used to round this price to $117.

Now due to the new system of purchasing the products, we’ve changed this logic in order to simplify the calculations and all the prices are shown with an accuracy of two decimal places: in fact, the prices increased by 60 cents maximum, and some of the prices decreased.

Please notice that:

since 3/15/2017 all the payments (including auto renewal) have been made in accordance with new prices specified on the Plans and Pricing page
10% discount for purchasing a bundle of products (Netpeak Spider + Netpeak Checker) is no longer available, we’re working on a more pleasant discount system instead

1.2. Bulk purchase of licenses

Now you can buy up to 50 licenses under one order and then manage access to them in a special section of control panel. The possibility of buying several licenses at once will be particularly useful for the heads of small SEO teams or big agencies who want to provide the employees with the licenses keeping the precise control of license in case the employee leaves the company or takes up a new position without a neсcesity to use the tools.

Considering this system, we’ve implemented new discounts for bulk purchase:

5-14 licenses → 5% discount
15-29 licenses → 10% discount
30-50 licenses → 15% discount
need 50+ licenses? Just contact us!

1.3. Price calculator

We’ve made a new price calculator on Plans and Pricing page where we display monthly prices and mark the most favorable offer. We tried to show you clearly how much you can save and how the prices are calculated – try to click dotted underlined numbers and you’ll get a tooltip on the calculations:

Please notice that when you choose several licenses or view 3/6/12 months plans, the price is calculated for one license for one month so you can easily compare the charges. The full amount of payment is specified below the monthly price.

1.4. Subscription auto renewal

To ensure the consistent work with our products, we’ve released a subscription auto renewal feature. If you make a purchase via payment card and activate the license, auto renewal is on by default. You can manage this option in the ‘Subscriptions’ section of Control Panel.

1.5. New payment method: PayPal

At the request of our users, we now provide an opportunity to effect payments via PayPal. However, there are some aspects you should take into consideration:

In case you pay via payment card, we instantly get the data whether the transaction was successful or not. But when purchasing via PayPal, there can be a certain delay in getting this data – PayPal itself asks to wait up to 30 minutes to receive the results of payment processing. Therefore, we add the licenses to your account only after having received the response from PayPal about successful payment.
Subscription auto renewal option is available only when you’ve got a default payment card in your account. That’s why after making a purchase via PayPal, we recommend adding at least one payment card to your account so you could have a permanent access to Netpeak Software products.

1.6. Other changes in purchasing the tools

Let’s take a quick look at other minor changes to the process of purchasing the tools:

We offer an opportunity to pay via bank transfer provided that the total amount of your order is above $250 – contact us to get more details on this matter.
After the successful purchase or auto renewal, you’ll get an email with a detailed info on your order in more usual and convenient way for printing (if needed).
Any order retains its price and applied discounts for two weeks, during this time you’ll still be able to pay old prices even if the prices increased. After this period, all the orders become expired and cannot be paid.
You have an opportunity to buy the license without its instant activation – if you have no active licenses, you will have an opportunity to activate the license when confirming an order. However, you can unсheck «Activate the License» so your license will be added to your list of licenses and you’ll be able to manually activate it at any time.
On the page confirming a successful payment, you can always find the number of available licenses and state of subscription auto renewal feature.
