Based on last year’s affiliate round table and other user feedback, 2Checkout is creating an entirely new affiliate platform.

We have been working closely with a variety of established affiliate marketers to design this new program and now, we would like to extend the invitation to participate in beta testing to the rest of our suppliers and affiliate marketers.

Specifically, we want your feedback about the following:

• General usability of the system
• Fullness of the 2CO Affiliates feature-set in comparison to existing networks
• Overall functionality
• Missing features and functions that are crucial to your success as an affiliate
• Accuracy and helpfulness of our help topics

If you would like to participate in this beta program, please provide the following information in an email to affiliatetest@2co.com no later than September 25, 2009:

• Your Supplier/Vendor ID Number
• Your Name
• Your Website URL

We will begin responding to approved beta testers with welcome letters and other necessary information on October 2, 2009.

Thank you to everyone who has provided their advice and recommendations for the new 2CO affiliate program so far.

Our developers have been working on the new affiliate program and are now ready to release a limited invite-only beta.

UPDATE:

February 18, 2009:  All 2Checkout suppliers may now enroll in the Affiliate Program and are no longer required to apply to be enrolled. To enroll in the Affiliate Program, suppliers will first need to agree to the new Terms of Service and Operating regulations for the program. To review and agree to the new Terms of Service and Operating Regulations, suppliers will need to login to their account using the New Vendors Administration area and then click the Affiliates tab on the account home page. Suppliers will then be able read and agree to the new documentation.
