Cost less, more sales, equals more profit.

The answer is 100% of the time, more profit.
Lower processing costs would sound logic to me if these big companies were
direct merchants at visa. But they are not... They too use 3rd party processors
for processing their payments BUT not for running an affiliate program... most big
companies have their own affiliate program. I don`t think epoch is charging me for paying out my affiliates... I just pay for the processing fees regarding my members...
In that case... where is the benefit for running your own affiliate program?

Thanks for all input...
