Direct Debit - automated payment solution for the prepaid programs by using adding a card for top-up
Direct Debit is a solution that will help in improving the payments process by making automated payments for prepaid advertisers by adding a card that will be charged like an online payment. This will simplify the work for the affiliate manager (person that handles the affiliate program) and it helps in improving the relation between advertiser program and affiliates. More details below:
- Amount is setup in "Account limit" and another amount within "Charge amount", at the time when balance reaches to the amount of "Account limit" it will top-up the account by the "Charge amount"
- Charged amount will reflect within the account balance and will be spend on generated commissions, network commissions and monthly subscription. Having the account always backed-up will cover the newly generated commissions and that will prevent the account to enter in Budget Lock. This will mark the account as being safe from entering in Budget lock, this will help in increasing affiliates trust in the advertiser by preventing to enter Budget lock.
Since 2022 when Direct Debit was launched there were so many payments made automatically and that is the equivalent of a lot of time spend in making manual payments. Time that has been saved and can be used by the affiliate managers to handle the account and increase the active relations and find new partnerships.
The lower threshold for Direct Debit activation is lowering down from 2023 from 200 EUR + subscription fee to 100 EUR + subscription fee.
This change comes to help the advertisers from entering in Budget Lock even there are smaller top-up amounts by activating this option, but the limit was a blocker.
