I'd be interested in learning more about this. I'm still not sold on Nats, and am seeking an alternative

Basically it is just a simple php script that sends the traffic first through CCBill using their link code with a redirect to Paycom and then Paycom sending its traffic back to FoxyAngel.

You could do the same thing by by using this really long URL which is CCBill's code and Paycoms code strung together,
http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clic...nsgender/tour/

But using the script that url becomes,
http://foxyangel.com/transgender/Cleo/

Paycom's admin and just about everything else about their site IMO sucks but sales through them are good.

Interesting, thanks. Do your affiliates then need to sign up through both billing companies?

Yes and that is also where they check their stats. It does allow affiliates to choose which tour and what page on the tours that they wish to send traffic to but that is about it.

I'm not a big fan of Nats. If and when we decide to get affiliate software I want to look at this solution.

At least since we are not using CCBill's or Paycom's link codes we won't have to force anyone to use new link codes if we do go with another solution.
