As we start the fourth quarter of the year and the holiday season that it entails, it will be crucial that your Merchant program remains online and funded. Any downtime, especially this time of year, can cause Affiliates to leave your program as they search for a more stable Merchant to work and make money with during the last three months of 2016.
ShareASale has an auto deposit system that is simple to set up to prevent these types of issues from happening to your Merchant Program. Let’s now take a look at how to set this up.
Near the bottom of your Edit Settings page, you will want to click on Set up Auto Deposit which will take you to this screen.
From this box, you can set a low balance trigger amount as well as a replenishment amount that will fund your account when the trigger level is reached.
You can also set up primary and backup funding methods using credit cards or eChecks. If the primary mode fails twice, the backup method will be attempted.
Keep in mind that you will still be notified of a low balance by email. If the auto deposit is successful, you will receive notification via email as well. If the deposit is not successful, you will receive an email as such and should log in to your account to manually make a deposit. The system will attempt three times, after which it will turn off and you will need to make a manual deposit.
