That's just plain bullshit and here is why : 99% of my customers use Sliiing as affiliate program enhancer. This means that : affiliates still use CCBill's links, CCBill track the referrals and pay the affiliates. The fact that they use Sliiing or not doesn't change anything in the conversion ratio. It even gives you, as an affiliate, more chance to get your referrals tracked as there is a double tracking system. If Sliiing didn't catch it, CCBill does, if CCBill didn't catch it, Sliiing does.
If a site stops converting for you, maybe should you start asking yourself what
YOU are doing wrong.
In 6 years, I have had 2 customers that tried Sliiing and stopped using it : 1 time because they did an error while installing. It was 6 years ago, the system was quite new and they lost trust in it. The second time was 1 month ago : The webmistress is new in the business and didn't expect a certain adaptation time, she got 1 complain from an affiliate and panicked. After 1 month of used, she cancelled. Was her decision founded? I don't think so but it is her business. That's it. All other customers are happy customers. And if they are not happy, I am more than glad to help them and enhance my script following their suggestions & requirements until they are satisfied.
Your sir, seem to be running a smear campaign against Sliiing. I have yet to understand why. In any cases, it is totally unfounded. If you have any issues with Sliiing, just message me privately and I will do my best to help you out.

Thank you sir and you are absolutely right: It is impossible for a sponsor to shave when using Sliiing.

We all know that a small program trying to walk away from a 3rd party biller is a huge headache. A small program (a program with no or little budget for employees) wanting to go the Merchant-account-route as a step to more control and further growth... i think it's only doable with sliiing.

And thanks again! You are 100% right. In 99% of the cases, Sliiing is used as affiliate program enhancer, meaning that CCBill (or Epoch, or Verotel) still tracks and pays the affiliates for all their referrals. I currently have only 2 customers that uses Sliiing as stand alone affiliate program. In this case, Sliiing alone is responsible to track the referrals and the sponsor pays the affiliate himself.
As extra service, if the sponsor needs it, we offer the payout services : Instead of sending payouts to 50 affiliates, he sends us 1 payment and we do pay the affiliates for him. The service is free and is only available to help the sponsors that need it. Again, no shaving is possible. Sliiing is running on our server and the sponsors do not have access to the db. They just can not shave no matter how they use Sliiing (as stand alone or program enhancer)
One last thing : We did everything we could to code a script that is easy to use and to understand. And we are updating the script every month following recommendations from our customers AND from the affiliates using our software. If ever you have any questions or are unsure about anything : Just ask me and I will do everything in my power to help you out.
