Table of Contentsproviders (MSPs). Buy rates are provided to each reseller for each of the small business products and services. Resellers access a reseller interface to setup new merchants on the small business platform, set sell rates for each merchant and access reporting information for individual merchants or their entire portfolio. Resellers receive a monthly residual based on the difference between their buy rates and the sell rates they set for each merchant. Small Business Affiliate Resellers: Affiliate resellers are individuals and businesses that have merchant customers, but are not able to provide those merchant customers with payment services.

In addition to channel and referral relationships, we pursue both solutions alliances and strategic alliances. These result in cooperative product development efforts, streamlining of integration capabilities and leveraged marketing efforts. These solution alliances integrate our technology into some of their products, making it easier for their customers to access our products and services and include companies such as Oracle (includes PeopleSoft and Siebel). Strategic Alliances: Our strategic alliances include our relationships with PayPal, Trustwave, and Visa U.S.A. We work with strategic alliances to enhance our existing solutions portfolio, develop new services and drive the adoption of industry standards.
