Software is inherently one of the highest margin products sold on the Internet today because unlike hard goods, software does not have additional margins for each copy that is sold. As a result, the profits can be shared with affiliates in the form of higher commissions. Digital River's clients include some of the biggest names in the software industry. These powerful relationships provide affiliates more opportunities to make money than any other network.

We can leverage our commerce relationships and our complete managed marketing campaigns to offer affiliates a responsive affiliate development team dedicated to helping them make more money. We also pass on a portion of our profits to affiliates through generous commission rates, bonus programs and exclusive coupons, deals and preferred pricing.

From banner ads to landing pages, merchandizing to shopping cart close rates, Digital River optimizes all aspects of the ecommerce experience – all to ensure the highest conversion rates and average order values, which translate into higher commissions for affiliates. Our large clients like Symantec, Uniblue, PC Tools, and dozens more are the top selling software giants online today. By taking their high traffic volume and combining it with our technology, we can then leverage amazing tests and tuning procedures to obtain a high conversion rate for our clients and affiliates.

Hundreds of millions of shoppers worldwide have two things in common; they are using computers and they NEED software to run them. With broadband penetration and demand for software at an all time high, consumers are increasingly demanding instant access to software products, downloaded right to their desktops. From hobby and entertainment, to productivity and enterprise level software, billions of dollars are spent on software products that enable the use of PC's and Mac's.

Direct to Publisher Payments – our ecommerce engines collect the money for our advertisers in dozens of currencies. Then we directly pass your earnings to you! This is more efficient than escrow and more secure than payments directly from merchants!

API Tracking - Commerce Integrated Tracking is a robust mechanism we use that links all oneNetworkDirect transactions directly to the ecommerce (shopping cart) solution used by all of our vendors.
