I can understand the reason for the other fraud risks but I don't see why paying commissions to affiliates is a fraud risk....
- swombat 18y agoBecause then there is an obvious way to make "clean" money out of stolen credit card numbers via your service. This is not an insurmountable problem, but it does mark you as a likely target for all sorts of internet fraudsters that would otherwise not be bothered about yet another project management application.
- swlevy 18y agoEven with your own merchant account, I would strongly advise against trying to run your own affiliate program (I've tried). There are just a host of legal and tax issues that will consume your time. Many of the largest sites (among them Netflix) still outsource their affiliate programs.
