Clickbank Expands Into Spanish Language Markets

Major developments are afoot at Clickbank which will have huge implications for affiliates and merchants alike.

The first announcement, and effective immediately, is that merchants can now offer their products in the Spanish language.

The Spanish speaking market is obviously huge. The US alone is home to more than 40 million Hispanics and worldwide Spanish is the first language of over 330 million people. So this new feature should massively expand the market for existing and new Clickbank products.

More Languages To Follow

Support for other languages is already in the pipeline with French and German expected to be next.

The other important announcement is that work is underway to allow order payments in currencies other than the US dollar. No doubt, many non-US merchants will be delighted, given the greenback’s plummeting value right now.

It’s unclear yet if this feature will also enable merchants to charge in the buyers local currency, by using ip tracking to detect the purchaser’s location.
