For affiliates using the Instant Merchant Accounts product as an opt-in or up-sale offer as part of a system or offer on your own site, this might be something you will want to take note of. Recently, we have made it possible to pre-populate the merchant account application form with user data previously captured on your site. The passing of this information is done by encrypting the data in a URL string that points to the merchant account app. However, the means to generate this information within the URL dynamically will require so technical know-how on your end.

An addition feature of this pre-pop tech, is the ability to redirect from the application confirmation page, back into you offer string or back into your site. Users will be present with the text, “This page will redirect to YOURDOMAIN.com in 5 seconds…” and will have the option to click the redirect URL to proceed there immediately.

This will be of great benefit to a number of our affiliates, and if you would like more information, please email me at instantmerchantaccounts@mgecom.com with a brief description of your offer path, or how you wish to implement this tech into your promotion of the IMA product.
