Welcome to The Merchant Account Explorer's Affiliate Program - which we believe will be one of the most profitable affiliate referral programs on the Internet.
Together with our sister website, we are in our 4th year of providing merchants with advice & information regarding merchant accounts and credit processing. |

How it works |
|
At The Merchant Account Explorer, we offer U.S. businesses who are seeking a merchant account two uniquely valuable services , namely our:
-
.
Merchants are invited to complete our online form setting out in considerable detail their credit card processing needs.
Our proprietary database software then determines which 2, 3 or 4 (the merchant himself decides how many) of our inventory of 14 of the U.S. 's leading merchant account providers ("Providers") can best meet the merchant's needs.
It then forwards the merchant's data to those Providers in real-time, each of whom then contacts the merchant with a quote for a merchant account.
Then, whenever a merchant purchases a merchant account or credit card processing equipment from a Provider, the Provider pays us a commission (the average is about $110/sale - the highest commission is $200 per sale!).
We pay the affiliate who referred the merchant to us a full 50% of the commission we receive from the particular Provider.
And because merchants will be able to select from 2 to 4 different top-level Providers, the chances of them actually obtaining a merchant account - and your earning a commission - are much greater than if you chose to promote any particular Provider's program individually.
-
.
To our knowledge, this is the first service of its kind on the Internet.
Again, merchants are invited to complete our online form.
Our software then forwards the data in real-time to Michael Rupkalvis, President of TTG of Chicago.
Michael is a merchant account consulting specialist with many years experience in locating merchant accounts for his business clients.
Upon receipt and review of the merchant's information, Michael contacts the merchant to further discuss his needs. He then uses his contacts with various U.S. Providers and banks to locate a merchant account for the merchant.
The merchant pays a fee of $39.95 (payable only if a suitable merchant account is located) for utilizing Michael's consulting services.
The consulting service is perfect for those many merchants who do not have the time or inclination to themselves search for a merchant account - or who are confused by the process and require some assistance.
We are paid $139.95 for each resulting sale. We pay the affiliate who referred the merchant to us a full 50% of the commission we receive (i.e. $69.98).

Why it works |
|
-
Businesses are very amenable to 'free quote services'.
They like the idea of not having to roam the Internet for reliable, well-priced merchant accounts - and they like only having to complete one application form in order to receive multiple quotes from Providers who match the profile of what they are seeking in a merchant account.
Our Providers include many of the Internet's largest and most respected merchant account companies.
-
In addition, the 'consulting service' is the perfect, reasonably-priced alternative for those businesses that require help from a trustworthy proven source.
-
As a result, we expect a high sales conversion ratio for clicks to our site from our affiliates websites - and large checks for our affiliates!
-
Our online form is the most extensive online application we know of, screening applicant merchants not only as to their location, business type, products & services sold, processing requirements and volumes, etc., but also as to credit, bankruptcy, prior processing history, as well as their priorities in selecting a Provider.
The extensive nature of the form helps weed out 'tire-kickers' - and means that when our Providers contact them, many of the Provider's questions have already been addressed - and a sale is that much closer.
-
Merchants select the exact number of Providers they want to hear from, so they are not overwhelmed with unwanted contact from Providers .
Instead, they are anxious to hear from that exact number of Providers.
-
Both the Free Quote Service and the Consulting Service save merchants the time, hassle and confusion of themselves searching, completing multiple forms and contacting Providers who aren't interested.
-
In addition to all the above benefits for merchants (which results in a high percentage of them applying to one of our two services), each month those merchants who obtain a merchant account as a result of either of our services are eligible to enter a contest with a cash award of $200 - a great incentive for your referrals to use our services and to obtain their merchant account from our Providers - and therefore effect higher affiliate commissions for you!
