How Do/Would You Hande Chargebacks for Reps/Affiliates Pay?
I pay - and very well mind you - only when a sell is actually made. A kind of "share the wealth" model. I make money in residual income and further sales to the clients, but not much on the front end so my reps and referrers make the most possible, so I can attract and keep them, and because I'm a nice guy.
All is fine and dandy but then I realized I'm very vulnerable to be left in the cold in case of too many chargebacks by devious people. If I understand correctly, clients paying by PayPal or credit cards can cancel up to 60 days after purchase. :confused:
I understand "normal" chargebacks are part of the game so my issue is how to structure the pay of the reps and referrers so as to prevent me from going under in case of intentional fraud. Reps can be physically from anywhere, and even more so for referrers, most of which I won't even talk to unlike the reps.
I don't have the cashflow to only keep say 10% of the pay in reserve... A system that would protect me nicely would be to immediately credit 50% of the commission to their account right after a sale; and then the other 50% on the 61th day.
But let's be honest, that sucks for them! I want to attract them, not chase them off. On the other hand, it'd only take one bad apple who does a dozen "false" sales in a row to throw me to the curb. Maybe not later on when I have cashflow, but right now, it'd be a back breaker.
Any thoughts?
