If you have any questions about the affiliate program that
are not answered here, contact
us. Your information request will be answered within 24
hours.
Most commonly, affiliates use the unique co-branded URL that
contains the affiliate's name. (The URL is of the form http://www.expandyourbusiness.com/affiliateprogram/xxxx/....htm
where "xxxx" is the affiliate's name. When someone
clicks through your site to get to that URL, the forms submitted
to us also contain the affiliate's name.
Other affiliates opt to refer to us directly. We set up an
in-house partner rep who takes incoming calls from your leads.
Near the end of each month, we run a report that shows the
number of accounts submitted due to a specific affiliation.
Each live account earns a commission. It's that simple!

It is difficult for us to predict any concrete figure as your
earnings will depend on your success in promoting our service.
It depends on how much traffic your site currently enjoys,
how many subscribers your newsletter has, how extensively
you promote our service in your web site and newsletter, and
so on.

A payment will be sent to you by end of every month
for the commissions earned during the previous month, as long
as the total commissions and residuals due to you is at least
$50. If the total due to you is less than $50, the balance
will be carried forward to the next month.
At the end of each month we receive a report that tells us
the gross amount of credit card processing residuals generated
from any of our clients. As your portfolio grows and you are
due to receive residuals, we will provide more complex reporting.
Suffice it to say that we do everything we can to ensure
that affiliates are credited for the Merchant Account clients
they generate.

Whenever you generate a lead through your co-branded
pages, you will receive an e-mail from us. Near the end of
each month, you will receive a summary of leads referred,
accounts submitted, and fees paid. As your portfolio grows,
we will also send residuals summaries.

We do not accept affiliates who have sites that promote
spam (as described in our terms and conditions), pornographic
material, violence, illegal activities such as software piracy,
or discrimination based on race, gender, religion, national
origin, physical disability, sexual orientation, or age. Apart
from that, generally anyone can become an affiliate. Note:
Since there are some restrictions as to the types of merchant
accounts World Payment Services Sales can establish (for example,
we are not currently able to establish accounts for adult
businesses), so businesses in those industries are generally
less successful affiliates.

The affiliate program is open to residents of all countries.
Note: Since World Payment Services Sales merchant accounts
are only available to companies with a US presence, businesses
located outside of the US are generally less successful affiliates.

No, although having your own web site can help streamline
your referral process. If you only had a newsletter, for example,
you could generate traffic through articles and endorsements.
You can also refer people directly to us by telephone or fax.
Back to top
No, but we would be happy to provide a free fees analysis
to see if switching over from your current processor would
benefit you.
Back to top
It costs nothing at all. Signing up for our affiliate
program is and will always remain free.
Back to top
No. We review your account at the end of each month
prior to paying you. If your portfolio contains fifty or more
active accounts, you will qualify for both commissions and
residuals payments. If your portfolio contains fewer than
fifty active accounts, you will only qualify for commissions
payments. Some affiliates refer only one account per month,
others refer hundreds. Either way, we will ensure you receive
an upfront commission for accounts generated from your leads.
Back to top
No, but we will include your merchant account in your
portfolio so that when your portfolio reaches 50 accounts
or more, you will receive a kickback on your processing fees
in the form of residuals.

Once you sign up, we will provide you with ready-made
banners and a co-branded site in order to help you promote
our services. We will provide you with tips and strategies
that you can use to promote our services. You will be automatically
subscribed to a free e-mail course in which we will tell you
how to promote our affiliate program. Note that by far the
most effective way to promote our service is to recommend
our service to your customers, web site visitors, ezine subscribers
and others who trust and respect you.
Back to top
Yes.
Back to top
Absolutely not. If we have reason to believe that an
affiliate has used unsolicited e-mail to promote our service,
that affiliate will be banned forever from our affiliate program.
The affiliate will also lose any commissions and residuals
that are due to him/her.
