Reintroducing TUNE Pay

At TUNE, we know there’s nothing more fundamental to affiliate marketing than paying your partners.  Paying partners is something that should be seamless. Instead, the process is often plagued by additional costs, risk, and disagreements.  Partners are located all over the world with payment needs that are not easily met by most affiliate technology solutions.  Paying everyone on time with the correct amount per your own tracking and reconciliation can be an exercise in frustration not just for you, but also for your accounts payable team and your partners.  And that’s all before you see how much you’re getting charged by your bank and payment providers to make it all happen.

That’s why we introduced the affiliate world to TUNE Pay.  With TUNE Pay, you pay your partners via the same great technology platform you’re already using to track and manage your relationships.  And when you use TUNE Pay, you’re paying your partners through the most secure, flexible, and cost-effective payment processors on the market. You can optimize for process simplicity or customization — your choice. We encourage you to pay your way.     

Many of the largest advertiser programs and networks are already using TUNE Pay to manage the balances, invoices, and payments for their partnerships. We’re confident it will work seamlessly in your world, too.  

“TUNE Pay was a deciding factor in choosing TUNE as our affiliate technology partner. TUNE Pay makes generating invoices and paying partners simple, and on time! It streamlined payments from a manual, tedious process to an easy approval process with automatic payments. We also love the ability to customize payment amounts if needed.”
