proccessor question for program owner.

[scottybuzz]

I just want to get a hold of something here.
For program owners how much does a proccessor take of you. As I heard somewhere it was %30 and when affiliates are getting %60 revshare, then u must surely get just %10?!!?

is that right?

for something like a big program owner surely thats ok, because of the quality of the sites ensuring rebills, plus the number of sales.

but for the small timers how do they cope with 10-20%?

or am i being stupid and proccessor charges are not %30....



give me some hits here please

CCbill takes 13.5 of our revenue and holds an additional 5% for 6 months and then releases it.

also intrested in this Isn't it also possible to pay a monthly fee for the cc processing?

[scottybuzz]

still 13.5% is high for just , what, 10 seconds of work?


i mean once the affiliate programs are all set up, its just money for life on their behalf. well aslong as a bit of cash on admin, security etc....


but then that others would price them out, so obviously that is the fair price.

But it's not 10 seconds of work. It's the very ability to process, handle risk, maintain fraud and proper scrub's to keep chargebacks low, etc etc. It's definitely more than a tiny bit of work.

Start-ups would already have well known traffic of their own to test their sites/tours and gather data long before opening up to affiliates.

I hade to give a hand a foot over to the processor

[Joey B. Lo]

An ipsp will take anywhere from 10-20% for processing plus 5-10% for reserves.

As a program owner I think no matter how much I pay out to my affiliates and processor, a % of something is 100% better than a % of nothing. So if I'm giving 70% to a great affiliate because he sends 10 or 20 signups a day, that's 30% of 10-20 signups that I wouldn't get at all without that affiliate. Point being, its totally worth while for a program owner no matter how small our share is.

No, small programs have to play by the 'rules' too. If you want the affiliates you gotta offer up the dough. Let's say I think I'm small, and just put everyone at the standard 50%. A whale wants 70%, or won't send traffic. I'll take my 15% that's left after him and the processor (yes... I pay all the processor fees instead of splitting them with the affiliates). 70% of 0 is 0. 15% of Whale sales = $$$. You just gotta cut your margins thin.
