I don't know if this happens EVERY time or not, someone from CCBill would have to chime in on that, but from a few quick tests *IF* a ccbill affiliate cookie has in fact been set, and said affiliate ID is a valid webmaster who has signed up to promote the paysite, then the affiliate ID# will usually show up on the join page. In other words, the join page will check to see IF an affiliate cookie has been set, and if so, it shows it like so:
<input type=hidden name=ccbill_referer value='XXXXXX'>
What usually happens when a valid affiliate ID is *not* set though, is that the ccbill_referer field just won't show up at all. So it won't show up as 0, it will be completely missing from the form.
What I don't know is, does it show the affiliate ID all the time? If the affiliate ID doesn't show on the join page, does that mean there is no way the affiliate will get credit? Does CCBill do a final check after the sale is complete? Again, these are questions someone at CCBill would have to answer.
