Do I have to pay a fee or meet any requirements to become a reseller?
We do not charge a fee to become a reseller. To become a reseller, simply complete our Reseller Application. We will review your application and website to be sure your company is a good fit for our Reseller Program. Within 2 business days, a SecureNetShop representative will contact you regarding the status of your reseller account.
How do I earn money with your Reseller Program?
As a Reseller, you will receive a discount (up to 50%) on all of our shopping cart service plans. You can charge your customers any amount you wish for each plan. Your profit is the difference between what we charge you and what you charge your customers.
Your discount rate is based on the number of active accounts at the time your reseller fees are calculated. We calculate reseller fees on the first of each month. You will be billed for activity that occurred during the previous month (new shopping cart accounts or renewals).
For example, let's assume the following:
- During April you had 2 new accounts and 5 that were renewed (all annual plans).
- Overall you have 20 active shopping cart accounts.
- You charge your customers $299 a year for an annual plan.
On May 1st, your reseller fees owed to us would be $1120 (7 accounts x $160). Your gross sales from shopping cart customers would be $2093 (7 accounts x $299), giving you a profit of $973.
When will I be billed for shopping cart accounts?
We calculate reseller fees on the first of each month. You will be billed for activity that occurred during the previous month (new shopping cart accounts or renewals). If there was no activity for your reseller account during the previous month, you will not be billed. We generally send invoices to resellers, via USPS, during the first week of each month.
How do I bill my customers and provide technical support?
Most of our resellers are already billing clients for internet related services of one type or another. You would simply bill your customers for shopping cart service fees like any of your other services. If you are just getting started with your online venture and would like to accept credit card payments, we can provide you with a merchant account.
We offer a read-only shopping cart account for training purposes. However, most resellers purchase a shopping cart account of their own, so they can go through the same setup procedures as their customers. While you are required to provide technical support, our technical support team is always available should you need assistance.
How do I manage my reseller account?
We will provide you with access to our Reseller Administration Area where you can update your reseller website, manage your customers' shopping cart accounts, and modify your reseller account settings. Upon approval, you will be sent login information by e-mail.
Can I become a reseller if I live outside of the United States?
Our Reseller Program is only available to companies in the United States and Canada. Please note that we only bill U.S. based resellers by mail. If you own a business in Canada, you will need to provide us with valid credit card information so we can process all fees due each month. A SecureNetShop representative will provide you with the proper credit card authorization form.
How do I promote shopping cart services to my customers?
We will provide you with a reseller website, at no charge, that displays all of the material needed to promote shopping cart services to your customers.
Can I resell merchant accounts and your shopping cart?
No. Our Reseller Program only applies to our shopping cart service.
What is the difference between your Reseller Program and Affiliate Program?
Our Reseller Program is for companies that wish to private label our shopping cart service. Resellers are responsible for customer sales, billing, and technical support. Affiliates simply refer customers to our website and receive commissions. Resellers have the opportunity to earn more money than affiliates but they also take on more responsibility.
