Someone please help me out – I just don’t get these payments struggles.
Note: I’ve been paid by everyone so I’m just seeking an understanding.
what exactly is it?
If its a cash flow problem, well companies save their profits when business is good for the times when business is slow. Not only is it common practice but good business.
If its uncertainty about possible chargebacks well hold back the first month’s comission. Start a new job and they do it all the time. Hell I had one job that paid monthly and held back the first month. Most compaines pay either weekly or bi-weekly and hold back the first check. Not something new! ( yes, I know some affiliates might not like that)
Is it just pure greed? Too bad. Sometimes business is great and sometimes its not. I have a retail site and sometimes sales smoke and other times they suck. In either case I still have to pay my web host.
Is it a payment processor problem? Use ASP.
thanks
