Put It On My Bill

Qpass, an end-to-end business infrastructure for selling digital content, and Trivnet, a provider of secure Internet payment services, have announced a strategic partnership agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Seattle-based Qpass will integrate Saratoga, Wash.-based Trivnet's WiSP payment service into the Qpass Digital Commerce Service to allow purchasers of digital content to pay for their online purchases through their Internet Service Provider, on their telephone bill or through a credit card account. WiSP eliminates the need for online buyers to pre-register, enter pin numbers, download software or disclose credit card information, the company says. Qpass launched its Digital Commerce Service in March 1999.
