Commission Structure
Our starting commission rate is 10% (exception: coupon/deal sites earn a 2% commission). Our incentive tiers for non-coupon/deal sites are based on prior-month’s sales as follows:
Incentive Tiers (Non-Coupon/Deal Sites)
• Monthly sales above $1,000: 11% commission
• Monthly sales above $2,000: 12% commission
• Monthly sales above $3,000: 12% commission
• Monthly sales above $4,000: 14% commission
• Monthly sales above $5,000: 15% commission
We may also award higher commissions for certain affiliates with whom we seek to expand our relationship on a case-by-case basis.
Commission Rule – Late Entrance (Coupon Sites)
A late entrance occurs when less than 10 minutes elapse between the commissioned click and the order time. In the case of coupon sites only, late entrances will result in the commission being denied.
