Anyone ever used Kagi or CCNow for processing/affiliate sales?

MadMax · 2006-01-25, 06:34 PM

I'm looking to set up processing and an affiliate program for products that aren't inherently "adult" in nature. Since the products are not adult I don't need an adult processor and have lots of options available, but I want to make sure I choose something that potential affiliates will be comfortable with.

At the moment I'm looking at Clickbank, Paycom, Kagi and RegNow.com (same parent company as CCNow), and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using any of them as a 3rd party processor as either a merchant or affiliate. I know Paycom and CCNow are familiar names with lots of you, but Kagi and Clickbank are 100% mainstream so you might or might not know them.

Any experiences, horror stories, etc? Know of someone else I should be looking at?

TIA

ccnow will shut you down with no notice and no refunds with even a whiff of adult

Hey Madmax.

I started out using CCNow for processing on one of my mainstream sites for products i make myself. I changed over to Paypal a couple of months later because there were no monthly fees, and the transaction fees were a little higher. Plus I like the fact that there are a lot of scripts out there now for affiliate programs with IPN support for Paypal.

And also the ability to pay your affiliates with Paypal, cutting out the costs of mailing checks and whatever. Goodluck.

One big thing for me is not handling the affiliate payments myself. Though I could, I'd like to avoid the potential of sending 1099s and all the associated BS. If I have to in the end I probably will, but I'd really like to be able to focus on service and support instead of the nuts and bolts.

Just in case, is there an affiliate tracking script you can recommend?

Could you define "whiff?"

Some of my products will be webmaster scripts for adult WMs as well as mainstream WMs.

Is it going to be all digital products, where you have the link to the download emailed after purchase is complete?

If so, you might look at...

Hope that helps.

We used Kagi to sell a software program to the public (which included porn surfers and webmasters) and never had a single problem.

Good company, good tech support, always received payment, no problems.
