At first, from an affiliate point of view... when nats came on the seen. I was worried. Literally, very worried, and as more and more of my ccbill accounts did jump ship, they basically disappeared from my traffic radar becuase I lost money on the 1 or 2 sales that i would send.
nats makes it affordable and easier...my hats off to John...I had the pleasure of actually sitting down with John in Vegas and discussing nats for treasurebucks, and i think when implemented properly, cascading can be extremely rewarding for both the program owner and the affiliates.
CCbill is just a well run company and have earned the trust of many many people, and have many people that work there who strive to offer every client, big and small, the same oppurtunity and respect. Not to mention... when you call them... you get someone who treats you with respect.
by saying that, alot of people are putting alot of trust into ccbill to not go down like IBILL, and take recurrings with them.
If that option was to happen, or if your with paycom, and you have all your rebills with just paycom and they were to go down... your sunk. You have to start all over.
But with a cascading system, you have the option to spread those signups around with different processors like ccbill, paycom, netbilling (your own merchant account), and if one of those processors go under... you take a hit, but your not knocked out of the game, and you might still be able to make the payments on your overpriced house and car, or your high maintenence girlfriend
