by | Mar 14 | Blog, CAKE News

We’re thrilled to offer a new, fully integrated and automated payment solution that lets you pay partners more efficiently and flexibly. With CAKE Pay, you can simplify and streamline partner payments while managing an affiliate marketing program on a single platform.

In the interdependent world of performance marketing, partnerships are integral to performance marketers success. Providing fast and reliable payments is key to nurturing long-term relationships that fuels ongoing ROI.

Upgrade your partner payment process with CAKE Pay and focus on what you do best – running a profitable performance marketing program.

Here’s how it works.

CAKE Pay in Action


The partner payment solution you deserve

 

Pay the way you want to

Pay partners on all traffic that is tracked in any price format including cost per click (CPC), cost per thousand (CPM), conversions, leads, and phone calls. In addition, you can pay by product, category, or SKU. The flexible payments ensure you have the opportunity to work with affiliates across any media channel.

 

Pay when you want to

Select from three custom net payment term options (Net15, Net30, Net40) to decide when to pay your partners. This enables you to have the same net payment terms for all affiliates.

 

Remove repetitive tasks by consolidating invoices

Send a single, monthly payment to CAKE Pay and avoid the time-consuming and cumbersome process of generating multiple invoices for every partner each month. By syncing tracking updates to invoices directly in CAKE, users can streamline and simplify the partner payments process.

 

Offload tax form distribution and management

Deliver the appropriate W-9 tax forms to newly onboarded partners and distribute annual 1099 tax forms.

 

End manual, inaccurate invoice processes

Offer affiliate partners a simple setup to receive payments and commissions through an automated ACH transfer or utilize PayPal to expand partner opportunities.

 

Expand global affiliate reach

Leverage global payments to work with affiliates around the world, regardless of their currency.

 

Give partners the billing clarity they deserve

Provide partners with the ability to download real-time PDF invoices directly from their affiliate portaI.

 

“By adding CAKE Pay to our existing affiliate marketing technology, customers can operate their entire performance marketing program on a single solution. CAKE can do it all — from launching campaigns and measuring performance, to offering flexible commission structures and paying partners. This integrated approach enables users to increase revenue and unlock greater control over their performance.” – Santi Pierini, President at CAKE
