I received a sign up notification email from CCBill and it was a pretty nice sale:
Total price: $69.95
Commission Percentage: 50.00%
Commission Amount: $34.98
I went to see the stats but I could not find the sale, it was not displayed in the stats so I contacted their support dept and asked them why it was not shown and this is their reply:
I have taken a look at the subscription and also your affiliate account. While I was looking at the subscription I saw it read as a Failed Batch. A Failed Batch means At the time the subscription was created our processor was unavailable to complete the transaction so a subscription was created as if the transaction would be approved. These transactions are placed in a batch to be ran when the server is able to process again. This customer was then declined and is in the system now as a failed batch and an inactive subscription. This customer would have initially received a decline if our processor was available on the first attempt but because it was not, it was declined on the next attempt.
I asked what was the reason he was declined:
The consumer bank chose to not honor their card. For a more specific reason they would need to ask their bank.
I wonder how many surfers have banks that do not want to honor their cards
