So KK what would you recomend for a webmaster program?

I understand you can pay webmasters with EPassporte. There are some advantages....

But is it worth setting up for processing? Is there enough market penetration?

Can you use the physical card to buy things online, or at a resturant like a VISA card? Or is it only for ATMs?

For ATMs? What is the daily limit? Can that be adjusted?

Personally I think that the more ways you have to take money in and the more ways you have to pay your affiliates, the more competitive you are on both sides of the program game. Affiliates who are non-US, or do relatively small sales volume absolutely love it -- they don't have to wait on a check or pay a fee to cash a US check in their country. You can schedule the payouts for any cycle you like, it's an API you use to tell us who, how much, and then you hit a button and we pay them pretty much.

The Virtual Visa can be used online for anything, at any place they accept Visa... Southwest Airlines, Amazon.com, Victorias Secret , etc...

The Electron card can be used at pretty much any ATM worldwide, and can be used at POS terminals with up to date software. And yes, I know that sounds like I'm dodging a bit on the purchasing, but there are a few things that are in transition so to speak and Mallick will call me yelling if I mention them right now... but as soon as I can I will tell you guys.

For inbound transactions from consumers, right now it can only be used for non-recurring transactions (emphasis on right now) and deliverable goods. Do I have 27 million users like Paypal? Not yet. But unlike Paypal we do take, encourage actually, adult. The reseller program will be live soon (emphasis on soon) at which point it will be even more enticing for webmasters to put it on their sites. There should be some very strong creatives and marketing tools to go with the reseller launch as well.

As far as setting it up to use, it's really quite simple, I think that a technical dunce like myself could probably manage it using some of the online verification features instead of the scripted ones

The daily withdrawal limit is $300 but that can be adjusted, yes. If it's an issue and you need it adjusted, just let me know.

If I missed anything, remind me.
