The ClickBank E-Commerce Solution
by J. Stephen Pope


ClickBank.com can offer you multiple solutions for
your e-commerce business. Here are some of the
advantages of using ClickBank.

1. Accept Credit Cards Without a Merchant Account

If your product is downloadable (such as electronic
books or software), ClickBank may be an excellent
solution for you. For a $49.95 initial fee, you can
process credit cards and on-line cheques for $1.00
per transaction plus 7.5% of sales.

2. Start Your Own Affiliate Program

With ClickBank, you have your own built-in affiliate
program. You decide what commission (from 1% to 75%)
you would like to pay your affiliates.

3. Receive Free Advertising

You receive additional exposure through free listing
on the ClickBank website and through the search
facilities of other websites, such as CBMall.com.

4. Obtain Referral Commissions

Even without applying for ClickBank credit card
processing, you can earn referral commissions on
thousands of ClickBank Marketplace products.

5. Eliminate Sales Tax Problems

Are you registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) for
online transactions for European Union (EU)
countries since July 1, 2003?

Are you collecting the appropriate state or
provincial sales taxes?

If you are a Canadian, are you aware of your
obligation to collect Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T.)
and Harmonized Sales Tax (H.S.T.) on Internet
transactions?

Again, ClickBank may be your solution. ClickBank
is registered for EU purposes and adds the
appropriate VAT to each transaction.

As well, to deal with ClickBank, you must agree to
sell your product to them. ClickBank then resells
your product to their customers. Thus, ClickBank
becomes the retailer responsible for collecting
sales taxes -- not you. Obviously, ClickBank will
not be subject to sales taxes in most jurisdictions.

Since ClickBank is located in the United States and
can only sell or use the products it sells from
there, it would appear that Canadian G.S.T. and
H.S.T. would not be applicable to them.

Of course, this is not legal advice. To determine
your liability for sales and similar taxes, consult
your lawyer and accountant.

Considering its many advantages, ClickBank may well
be your e-commerce solution!
