A: The trial period typically lasts between 5-12 months, depending on the merchant partner. After the trial, you may have the opportunity to transition to another partner based on availability and demand. For instance, holiday seasons often create additional opportunities.
A: The point at which an international business must formally establish a U.S. presence is determined by several legal and regulatory factors, including:
1. Duration of Activity: If a business operates in the U.S. for an extended period, it may be seen as having a “permanent establishment” under tax treaties, triggering U.S. tax obligations.
2. Revenue Thresholds: Generating significant income from U.S. sources can require the business to register with federal and state tax authorities and comply with tax laws.
3. Nexus Laws: Each state has its own criteria for when a business has sufficient presence (nexus) to require tax collection, often based on sales volume, number of transactions, or physical presence.
4. Nature of Operations: Activities like direct sales, hiring employees, or maintaining a physical office can push a company beyond the “trial” threshold, requiring formal registration.
For Launchpad Pro, these factors mean trials are intentionally limited in time and scope. Once a business crosses these thresholds, they must establish a formal U.S. presence to comply with legal obligations.
A: Your start date depends on how quickly you complete all onboarding tasks, set up your business, and submit your merchant applications through the merchant broker partner. After that, the merchant banks and underwriting process can take up to 4 to 6 weeks.
Once your merchant accounts are approved and you begin working, payments will be issued monthly between the 16th and 18th, starting the following month and continuing as long as the program remains active.
A: Initial training begins after your setup process with Launchpad Pro, where you transition to your merchant services partner. (After you've completed document submissions and setup).
Initial training takes less than three days and prepares you to manage your responsibilities using the platform. Ongoing training, such as quarterly updates or seasonal processes, may be provided based on your partner’s requirements.
A: Ecommerce Resellers help international merchants sell to U.S. customers by facilitating payments and managing returns through established systems.
A: Sometimes! But resellers have minimal involvement in customer returns. Most of this process is now automated or managed by third-party systems to ensure efficiency and compliance.
A: No. Your responsibilities are primarily administrative during onboarding, such as setting up an LLC, submitting documents, and staying compliant. Once systems are live, your role becomes largely hands-off
A: Ecommerce Resellers earn a guaranteed $1,000/month.
A: You can earn $1,000 for every referral who qualifies and moves forward with a merchant partner. Since the international ecommerce merchants are on a trial basis, we are always in need of new EBOs. There’s no cap—refer as many people as you’d like during your first merchant relationship!
A: Payments are processed monthly. For example, if you start in December and complete all steps by the 20th, you could receive your first paycheck in mid-January.
