It seems it is very easy to find CC Processor that has a built in affiliate program, if you are selling digital goods.

I am building a site to sell a tangible good (it's hush hush right now), so I can't use sites like clickbank or ccbill

It would be pretty simple to setup googlecheckout, but then I would have to either use a 3rd party affiliate program, or purchase affiliate software.

While it would certainly appear MUCH cheaper to purchase affiliate software, I want my affiliates to know that their sales are being counted, 100%.

I know what it's like to send hard earned traffic and not have it all counted because of cookie issues, or perhaps something even shadier.

I certainly don't want to pay $5,000 to a 3rd party affiliate program and pay them 30% of each sale on top of all the other fees.

Shareasale looks good, but I would really rather just use an all in one solution.

My question is: Does anyone know of an all in one solution, that can simply take the commision for the affiliate out of the sale? (For a tangible item!)

Also, what affiliate programs or software is considered trusted by affiliates?

Thanks so much for any help.

It would seem that if such a thing exists, no one is aware of it.

Doesn't it seem silly that PayPal or GoogleCheckout do not offer affiliate tracking? It could be huge for them!! They would have a very large user base over night, and they could charge merchants a small monthly fee for the use of the service.. Nothing beats recurring income!

I am also amazed that click bank and ccbill (and the many many others) do not process credit cards for tangible items. I do not know the reason for this, but I am sure they have their reasons.
