What is TrialPay?
TrialPay was a transactional advertising platform that revolutionized e-commerce transactions by offering unique payment solutions. Founded in 2006 and based in Mountain View, California, TrialPay provided consumers with alternative ways to pay for items by trying or purchasing offers from advertisers. This innovative approach not only created new revenue streams for merchants but also aligned advertisers with suitable consumer deals. In February 2015, TrialPay was acquired by Visa, integrating its technologies and services into the Visa Commerce Network.
Established by Alex Rampell, Terry Angelos, and Eddie Lim, TrialPay introduced a groundbreaking “Get It Free” payment model. This allowed consumers to receive free products by completing purchases or engaging with advertisers’ products, enhancing sales for merchants without direct discounts. The significant impact of this model in the e-commerce space caught the attention of Visa Inc., leading to TrialPay’s acquisition on February 27, 2015. Post-acquisition, TrialPay’s technologies were incorporated into Visa’s offerings to enhance merchant sales through targeted and transactional advertising.
- Target Segment: TrialPay primarily catered to online shoppers seeking value-added deals, e-commerce merchants in sectors like software, gaming, online services, retail, and advertisers focused on customer acquisition through performance-based marketing.
- Focus and Benefits: The platform was designed to benefit all parties involved:
- Consumers could obtain free or discounted products by engaging with advertiser offers.
- Merchants saw increased sales and customer engagement without directly discounting their products.
- Advertisers gained access to new customer segments and enhanced purchase incentives, paying only for performance outcomes.

Understanding TrialPay’s Pricing Model
TrialPay operated on a unique “Get It Free” pricing model. Instead of traditional payment methods, consumers could receive products for free by completing specific actions with advertisers, such as signing up for a service or making a purchase. This approach benefited:
- Consumers: Gained access to free products or services.
- Merchants: Increased sales without discounting their own products, as advertisers subsidized the costs.
- Advertisers: Acquired new customers on a pay-for-performance basis, paying only when a consumer engaged with their offer.
After its acquisition, TrialPay’s model and technologies were rebranded and integrated into the Visa Commerce Network, continuing to influence transactional advertising strategies.
