2 more suggestions Corvette:

1. The ability to search for affiliates by partial name. For example, if you want to make sure that the hypothetical company "Adware Inc" is not an affiliate, you should be able to search for that string or substring. No way to do that now.

2. The ability to override the "Affiliate does not want their address disclosed" option that affiliates are given. Like most programs, I forbid affiliate signups from Russia, China and other countries popular with known scammers, but the fact is that I have trouble enforcing this because affiliates can hide their address from me. You would find that program owners can proactively head off a lot of trouble for CCBill if you removed this option or allowed program owners to override it. I'm not sure why CCBill even offers this option to affiliates; it's just asking for trouble as near as I can tell. At the very least the country corresponding to the address or wire destination should be viewable by the program owner.

Actually 3 suggestions...

3. Very minor, but the email that program owners get when a new afffiliate signs up says "A new partner has just signed up..." As you probably know, that word, "partner", has certain legal connotations and should be changed. I believe this cannot be customized by the program owner. It might also be handy to show the IP address that the affiliate used when they signed up along with the other information already shown in the email.
