OK, we know a certain person already announced this last week, but here is the official announcement ;)
After several weeks of blood, sweat, and tears, Sterling Cash proudly celebrates its first birthday with the launch of SterlingCash v2.5, powered by the World's #1 affiliate tracking system - NATS.
We are totally blown away by the level of support we have recieved from Fabian and the team at NATS - these guys have gone way beyond the call of duty to look after us and smooth the transition from our previous system. The NATS system itself probably needs no intruduction, but we are blown away by its speed and versatility
All the SterlingCash v2 affiliates have been automatically moved to v2.5, with all their previous sales stats intact. There is some ongoing work to finish this off - we are just waiting to add in the old rebill stats, but this should be complete within a week. All the old initial sales have been added and can be viewed now. Affiliate codes from our Executive Stats system are all being automatically translated into NATS codes when they reach our server, so there's no need to go back and change them. Affiliates who started out with us last year and are using our old CCBill affiliate codes are still having those codes honoured - CCBill will continue to track those sales & rebills, and send your cheques out as usual. But we ask those CCBill affiliates to please sign up with the new system and start reaping the benefits!
The most exciting feature of v2.5 is the cascade billing - we currently have 3 main billers included by default. Taking pride of place in the #1 spot is Epoch EU, which offers the ability to take Maestro / Switch / Solo debit cards alongside all the main credit cards. This is already converting better for us with UK & European traffic. Failing that, second in the cascade is the ever trusty CCBill, followed by Eurobill which takes European debit cards and German direct debits. So there is now even less excuse for declines, and more chance to pick up sales from the vast number of Europeans who don't have credit cards! We currently offer affiliate payouts every 2 weeks by Cheque, Moneybookers, and Epassporte.
We mustn't forget to mention the help we've had from the team at our host, www.realitychecknetwork.com, who have managed to move us from one seriously overloaded server to a lean & mean 3 server system. We now have our tours on one dedicated box, members areas on another, and FHGs on a 3rd box over in Amsterdam. We are now set for some serious expansion over the next 12 months. Respect must also go to our buddies at www.digibucks.com for all the advice & help they've given us. You are all champions!
OK, this is starting to sound like an over-long Oscar acceptance speech, so I will shut the fuck up until our next announcement, which will be up soon...
ROCK!
