ccbill or nats: what do affiliates prefer?

[HunkyLuke]

wow, what a totally old thread from 04-11-2006.

FYI, I asked about this when we were first looking at switching our affiliate program from CCBill to NATS (yes this was back in the days before CCBill offered cascades). Its been over 2 years since we have been using NATS instead of CCBill, and I can tell you that there is no bloody way I would ever go back to just a single biller. IMHO anyone that uses just a single biller is wasting traffic and losing money!

But cacading billing and using NATS aren't the same thing.

CCBill and Epoch now offer cascading as part of their standard offerings.

CCBill will handle all affiliate payouts, including sales that cascaded to other billers. (Epoch doesn't offer this service because Rand claims it's impossible.)

As Lee said, I think a lot of affiliates like the idea that with CCBill, you get paid by a third party, with checks sent every week.

And CCBill's software has had nowhere near the bugs and problems that NATS has.

Chip you are absolutely right, but as I said this was an OLD OLD thread BEFORE ccbill and epoch started offering cascades. Now that they do, this thread is irrelevant as the whole first page of it is outdated.
