This is a great start for our flagship store, and we've only just begun. There are a ton of exciting features coming, plus the E-Commerce Associate Program and hundreds of thousands of new products. TripleClicks has a very, very bright future ahead of it!

Setting up a Standing Order has NEVER been easier! Just log in and click the Standing Order button next to the product of your choice at TripleClicks.com. SFI's system takes care of the rest.

These Standing Orders (SO) are ideal for Affiliates who want to receive automatic monthly shipments and/or renewals of their favorite TripleClicks products. SO's of 10SVP or more also ensure affiliates remain qualified each month for all executive benefits. Spread the word to ALL your affiliates about this new, easy one-click SO option...your commissions could very well increase from increased activity and upgrades throughout your team!

For more tips on successful team building, check out " Methods for sponsoring affiliates."

Affiliates can now easily view and keep track of their SVP for each open or completed TripleClicks order they've placed. Just go to your TripleClicks Order Details page for complete details of your orders up to the past 12 months.

We've added 35 language translations to all three of SFI's blogs:

SFI News at news.sfimg.com
Power Tips at tips.sfimg.com
SFI Insights at gcblog.sfimg.com

Just select the language you wish to read these blogs in from the drop-down Google Translate box located in the sidebar.

You can now easily view a listing of all the 180+ MaxMalls merchants at TripleClicks.com by simply clicking the MaxMalls option at the bottom of the department listings at the store.

A cool, new feature is now live at TripleClicks. In search results, you can now mouse over individual items to see 300 character description excerpts.

This feature makes browsing more convenient and faster as you now no longer necessarily have to click on individual items and visit the details pages to determine interest. You can now do this right from search results pages.

Authorize.net net is down right now, apparently due to a fire. Authorize.net is the credit card processing company for tens of thousands of e-commerce companies, including SFI. Hence, no orders using credit cards will go through at TripleClicks until this is resolved. Read more about this HERE.

7/5/09 UPDATE: Authorize.net came back online Friday afternoon.
