Several days ago a merchant has contacted me with a good question. They have decided to build an in-house affiliate program, but they do not want to mess with payments, and would much rather outsource the payment part to a third party. So, if they manage their program in-house, track things with a self-hosted software, but do not want to cut checks, who could they turn to?
There are several solutions out there. I’ll be honest, I have not worked with any one of these. So, the order in which they are listed below in merely alphabetical:
- Affiliate Speedpay
- AnyPay
- Chexx Inc
- EntroPay
- ePassporte
- Payoneer
- PayPal Mass Pay
- RevUpCard
- Webmaster Checks
Whether you decide to handle the payments part in-house, or outsource it to a third party, make sure you are prompt and accurate. It is a touchy area that must be handled properly and orderly at all times.
Thanks for the blog mention Geno. Webmasterchecks sends out checks, wires, ACH direct deposits, and works with other mentioned companies such as epassporte and revupcard to help affiliate systems and networks get their payments to their affiliates.
Edmond Dantes is quite a name to have.
Thank you for your comment. How exactly do your partnerships with the other companies work?
Payoneer works with several networks I know, I use them with Mediawhiz and I’ve read they have something going on with Buy.at
very good solution for international users.

Geno, sorry I did not catch your comment until just yesterday. Hope you have been well. I remember reading somebody recommending one of your suggestions of having an email address available as well, or instead of an email form, and took it
We work with affiliate networks/programs to get their payments sent out, checks, wires, ACH direct deposit, the works…
Glad to be of help, E.
Just added another option to the above list — EntroPay. Met their CEO (Alex Misfud) at the Affiliate Summit East 2009 in NYC two weeks ago. It’s one of the newer solutions on the market. Worth checking out.
Do you know of any affiliate software solutions that have good payment tools built into them? Or have any of these already integrated? I wrote a post on choosing software, and some asked if I could recommend a payment solution, and I was stumped: http://www.revenews.com/ctmoor...../#comments
CT Moore,
PostAffiliatePro allows you to set up recurring PayPal payments. In addition to that, some of the above-mentioned outsourced solutions may be able to work with you on something similar. It’s worth checking with them.
