We have a thousand merchants that would argue otherwise. Having your own merchant account when using a gateway processor that helps you cover all of the bases is a very good option. Treating affiliates fairly does not come from the processor, it comes from the merchant and their program. Affiliates know what works for them and what doesn't. Also, when you have your own merchant account, you have much more control and are able to be very flexible with promotions, join page looks, fraud settings and so much more, thus helping improve conversions which make you and your affiliates more money.

Please contact us to learn more.
