Paid On Results are proud to launch our new Affiliate payment system ‘Payment On Request’. It was no surprise to us that Affiliates ranked the number 1 most important element of the Affiliate relationship with both Merchants and Networks as getting paid for the work they have done, and getting paid quickly. Paid On Results has been working hard since the start of this year to get all the elements in place such as upgrading our banking services and systems, improving Merchant invoicing, payment administration and much more to offer our new payment solution.
Payment On Request is a BACS only option, it’s payment when you want. Simply submit an invoice via the Affiliate control area (you click just 2 buttons and the invoice is fully generated for you) anytime you like subject to meeting the minimum of £25 validated commission in your account, so no more waiting 6 weeks to get paid.
Cheque and Paypal payments will remain on the traditional payment model, so now is the time to convert your account to payment via BACS, so you can start submitting your invoices to be paid on request starting the 10th of November.
Payment On Request is yet another example of Paid On Results listening to our Affiliates and taking it that step further.
FAQ:
Q: How often can I get paid?
A: As often as you like subject to having minimum £25 of validated commission in your account.
Q: What bank will my payments come from?
A: Payments come now via Bank of Scotland.
Q: What kind of information can I expect to see on my bank statement about the payment?
A: You should see that payment has come from Paid On Results and should included the reference of your Affiliate ID and invoice payment relates to, for example “1000-0004” would be Affiliate 1000, invoice number 0004.
Q: Why can’t I use Payment On Request for cheque payment?
A: Cheques are very time consuming, and need payment authorised company directors to be around to sign them. BACS on the other hand is very efficient and with the bespoke interface programmed by Paid On Results to output the needed files direct to our banking partner we can speed up the whole process and is why we can now offer this service to Affiliates.
Q: I am a brand new Affiliate, will I get paid on request a few days after joining and generating £25 in commission?
A: Payment On Request system will become available to you only after you have received two payments from Paid On Results, after this your free to submit invoices when you like, as often as you like. The reason for this safeguard is to allow us time to ensure you are a genuine Affiliate and to see how your account operates.

Paid On Results have launched 2 more new tools for Merchants.
Data Export: Allows Merchants and Agencies the ability to download data such as sales information to integrate in to software such as Excel or their own stats packages, data download is fully customisable to allow you to set up the information you want in the order you wish to receive it.
Credit Affiliate: Allows Merchants to credit Affiliates with bonus payments such as for competitions or incentives, easy system to use that will save you both time and money when dealing with allocating rewards for your Affiliates, bonus payments will not be subject to any override and have a flat £1 administration fee. When you compare this to the cost of dealing with invoices, allocating payments, writing cheques and post them you can see what a time and money save this new system is and we hope will encourage more Merchants to offer bonus payments for Affiliates.
We have also added the ability for Merchants to add “missing” payments for sales that may not have tracked for various reasons. This easy to use no fuss system, will save you time and allow you to deal with Affiliate commission issues fast and effectively.
Available now in the Merchant control area, and if you’re not a Merchant with Paid On Results why not pop-by our stand at the A4U Expo for a demonstration of these plus other market leading tools that Paid On Results provided Merchants.

Paid On Results are proud to announce another network first, “Voucher Manager” our new voucher/discount code management system that will allow Paid On Results Merchants to easily offer exclusive discount codes for Affiliates to use. These codes can be used offline as well as online opening up additional promotion opportunities. Every time a Merchant assigns an exclusive code to an Affiliate, when this code is used the Affiliate assigned the code will get paid the commission, it’s all done automatically so should an Affiliates exclusive code be taken by another Affiliate you can just sit back and do nothing as any sales made using the Affiliates exclusive code will be assigned to them.
First stage that we will rolling out to interested Merchants at the end of this week is to do a very minor upgrade to the existing standard Paid On Results call-back code, once this is in place the Merchant will be able to offer Affiliates Exclusive codes that will track via the system. If you are a Merchant and are interested in offering this facility to your Affiliates please get in touch or sign up via the Merchant Interface at the end of the week when the system will be live.
