General purpose of each Affiliate Management System

It gives you absolute freedom to sell your products and run affiliate programs in any way you want. Accept payments directly to your merchant account and pay, manage affiliates yourself. All rules are set by you.

HYBRID Affiliate Management System (HYBRID System)

You get all the best things from both (Complete Affiliate Management System and Private Affiliate Management System) worlds: use your own merchant account to accept payments from your customers and completely automate commission payments (this job will be done by Click2Sell) to hundreds or thousands of your affiliates.

Where the money from your customers go?

COMPLETE System

Once a customer attempts to buy your product or service, Click2Sell will buy your product with a small discount (1$ + 7%) from you and immediately re-sell it to your customer. Practically speaking, money from your sales will be collected by Click2Sell and then paid to you regularly through various payment options.

HYBRID System

You will collect money directly to your PayPal, Moneybookers, Google Checkout, Worldpay, Authorize.net, eWay, LinkPoint, First Data, YourPay, PayPoint, Moneris, Sage Pay (former Protx), Optimal Payments or Ogone merchant account. Your money will be available immediately to you and you will not have to wait for any checks or wire transfers from us!

PRIVATE System

All the payments from your customers will go straight to your Merchant account, just the same way as in HYBRID System case.
