This morning we published our largest update for Secure Delivery to date. Read on to see what makes this update so cool:

1. Product Affiliate Program

Now vendors can set up and run their own product affiliate programs for any PayPal or 2CheckOut product. Secure Delivery charges not transaction fees, setup fees, approval fees, or anything else.

The Product Affiliate Program will always be included with paid accounts free of charge with no additional fees, and for a limited time even Free accounts can set up the affiliate program for their free trial product!

The Secure Delivery Product Affiliate Program supports traditional hop-links as well as our special touch- Affiliate Buy Buttons. Now affiliates can sell your products directly from their blogs, email lists, and even forum posts while you maintain complete control over the payment and download. Maybe a better way to think of affiliate buy buttons is “managed resale” or something, eh?

When you enable the Product Affiliate Program for a product it is automatically added to your Affiliate Program Manager on the dashboard. From here you can get your unique affiliate signup URL, invite or remove affiliates, download PayPal Masspay files to pay out affiliates, and access communication options to email all your affiliates, all affiliates for a single product, or a specific affiliate.

2. 2CheckOut Support

We now support 2CheckOut as a paid account processor. We also support 2CheckOut for use with the Product Affiliate Program.

3. User Interface Improvements

We have tweaked the user interface to incorporate all the new affiliate features for both vendors and promoters. As a result, Secure Delivery users will notice a new tabbed Dashboard interface and tweaked visuals during the product setup process.

4. New Support System and Knowledge base

We’ve upgraded the crappy old support system to a true email based ticket system with email piping, priority queuing, and the like. We’re pretty nuts about product support and our old system was not meeting our expectations so this is a welcome upgrade for us anyway :)

The new Secure Delivery Knowledgebase is pretty slick too. We’re still adding articles, but there is already a wealth of information and setup guides already listed. Its not a bad place to learn more about Secure Delivery either- be sure to check it out!

But We’re not done…

Throughout the month we will be releasing bug-fixes and enhancements based on user feedback to improve upon the already unique and powerful Affiliate Program features.

As I stated above, running your own affiliate programs will be a paid account feature, but for a limited time we have it open to all accounts- including free. We’re really proud of our results and we think you’ll like it too- try Secure Delivery free now.
