[QUOTE=shack]CCbill is great if you are just starting out and you don?t have the know how or funds to set your own affiliate system up."""

"""But the usability, for an administrator?s point of view is nothing special, you obviously can?t cascade billing (which I have no idea how you are tracking) break down statistics and since you don?t host the service, there isn?t much in the way of control.""""
>>>>>>>there are options for failed billing, if you need to go to another processcor. And it is trackable. Find a good programmer to set you up some cookies. I mean really, how much usability do you need? Collecting a check every week is pretty good for me.
"""Software like Nats and Mpa3 are in a league of their own and can?t really be compared to a piece of software you don?t pay for, so we would be only keeping CCbill to keep our affiliates happy
"""
>>>>>>>> Because I paid for software its better? Dear lord we better do away with open source then. Why use a software that you are in full control of? Why do you need control of it so bad? I can only think of one reason and I wont spell it out.
All in all. I have pushed CCBill sites, and NATS sites. I have seen CCBill sites change to NATS and their stats for me hit the gutter. Why did that happen?
With CCbill the customers are usually in it for the long haul. I have customers from 2002.
I am not knocking NATS in any way. I still am looking at using it. I just don't see it making my pocket any fatter. And thats what it all boils down to right?
