Affiliate Marketing & Payment Options for Subscription Website
My members website is undergoing a revamp and will have 2 paid membership options instead of the current single option.
Members will need to be able upgrade/downgrade their subscriptions to move between the two options.
Currently I use Clickbank but it doesn't look like that's going to work with the new member tiers as you can't change an existing subscription (increase or decrease the amount). You can only cancel it and create a new one.
There are various other things I don't like about Clickbank - for example several people have abused their refund system, joining and then requesting a refund multiple times - so although switching will be a hassle it could be the best thing for the long term.
What I like about Clickbank is that it handles VAT and it's pretty simple to get new affiliates set up with a hoplink.
The developer working on my site has recommend iDevAffiliate - it does look good. Anyone got experience using that? Would you recommend it?
Also any general tips about moving off Clickbank to another processor/marketplace would be great.
The trickiest bit could be what to do about current subscribers. If they want to change subscription tiers once I've moved off clickbank I guess they'd have to cancel and set up a new subs - which will no doubt lead to confusion, especially since they'll want to retain their member profiles.
