I'm currently investing in the development of a complex web application which incorporates a handful of merchants. At the moment, I'm working with the standard affiliate commission however I've got a slightly different model in mind that I feel would benefit all parties involved.

Is there typically any scope, providing you're already driving good levels of sales, to discuss custom agreements with merchants or should I anticipate a closed shop?

Any advice or previous experience would be appreciated.
