Why go with Monthly Commissions v's Payment per customer acquired?

Although payment per acquisition works well to make money quick, it does not generate a stable income. Our research indicates that, monthly commissions (also referred as revenue share) provide more income in the long run. As a result, partners can grow their business bigger and generate more income. We have seen this again and again in different industries.


Why don't you offer a hybrid model (Sign Up Bonus + Monthly Shares)

Unlike other shopping cart software's, we don't charge our customers a setup fee when they open their online stores. Therefore, our business model does not allow us to pay our partners upfront outside of the first monthly fee commission.

Payments for generated customer revenue are visible to the affiliate instantly and are paid after 120 days via PayPal. 120 days waiting period is necessary to avoid chargebacks from fraudulent accounts.
