For my site I'm going to need some manner of CC processing and an affiliate tracking system of sorts. I do know a number of third party sources for both and just wondered how I might go about integrating them into iWiccle and subsequently Wiccle? Is this something special that needs to be addressed prior to contacting them? 

example: The CC processing - if someone pays for a membership I'd like the ability to have their memberhip status reflec the payment automatically rather than me receiving a payment confirmation and then having to manually change their status.

example: Affiliate program - I have affiliates sending me buying members those instances need to be tracked some way. I could set up the members with affiliate codes and they can get credit for friends they send over etc.

this will be a pretty big part of my site.

We have payment gateways coming into the Wiccle 1.0 release, integrated with premium membership features, eCommerce modules and the rest. Suggestions on gateways wanted are welcome. So far we have PayPal and 2Checkout covered.

We will be rolling out our own affiliate program here at Wiccle.com in the near future, and code from that will be ported to our future releases as an Affiliate Management module. Wishes on affiliate features are welcome -- speak now and it can be reflected in the future features.

Saf-T-Pay is another payment system. It's new but growing. Has strong legs in South America and may gain some traction here in the states and in Europe. It's actually a safer way to purchase on line than Paypal as you don't have to give your banking info to anyone. Pretty simple system really. I'm surprised no one thought of it sooner.

NATS4 is a very popular and robust affiliate back solution. I'll look into it's features some more and pass them along. That is if you're not familiar with it already.

CCBill is another but truthfully I can't stand their affiliate area. It's horrible. But one thing they do well is combine all programs I'm signed up with under one account and cut out a single check from them for my payouts.
