Frequently Asked Questions
Commission and Payment
How much commission will I receive?
Since we offer a unique product every day, the amount you
receive per sale will vary based on the software. Our minimum commission
is 40% of the final discounted price after any e-commerce fees. As our affiliate
you will receive 50% of the commission the store receives.
How and when do I get paid?
You will be paid on a monthly basis when your balance
is over $100. If it is under $100, the balance will rollover into the
following month until the $100 minimum is reached. We pay via PayPal
or physical mailed check. Payments are made around the third week of the month.
Are there any setup costs or fees?
No, we will never charge you anything.
How accurate is your sales tracking?
The system that we've created needs to interface with a
number of different eCommerce companies, none of which are exactly similar. In
order to accurately report sales and ensure proper payments, we use technology
such as cookies, javascript, hit logging, and IP address tracking. As with any
system there is the potential to incorrectly assign a sale, however, this occurs
in only a tiny fraction of transactions, and for the most part these mistakes
balance out over time.
Are there sales you cannot track?
Some of our vendors allow orders to be phoned or faxed in,
and we know of no way to accurately track this. However, these orders represent
substantially less than 1% of our total volume. Some systems do not allow us to
track returns, but this actually works in your favor as we will absorb any according costs.
Can I use my affiliate links in emails?
Yes you can use your affiliate links in emails and post them on the web,
we don't limit what you do, we just ask that you don't spam people or do anything that we would frown upon.
Problems
What happens if there is a problem with a deal?
Problems with deals do occasionally happen, especially as we work
with so many suppliers and eCommerce providers. We ask for your understanding when this does happen.
When an error occurs we mark the deal as having problems and ask people to wait. If
we can't resolve the problem that day then we usually re-run the deal a few weeks later.
Affiliate Account
How do I see my sales?
You view sales via the 'Sales Report' in your Affiliate Account.
Sales occasionally take a few days to post depending on the eCommerce system in question.
Do I need to be approved?
No approval is needed! You can sign up today and have your account created and
making sales in a matter of minutes! If you need help, please contact us, we are
happy to give you a hand.
Can I create Ad units for use on webpages?
Yes! We supply you with a tool for creating ad units
for the software that you are currently promoting, perfect for placing on your
homepage or the sidebar of a website. The ad units automatically list each day's
deals, and can be easily customized.
