Question 1

Who can join the affiliate program?

Accepted Answer

Anyone with an audience or a paid-media playbook who can produce clean traffic at scale — content creators, media buyers, newsletter publishers, comparison-site owners, and agencies. We don't require a minimum traffic volume on the application, but the offers we approve people for typically reward affiliates who can ship at least a few hundred conversions a month consistently.

Question 2

How long does the application take?

Accepted Answer

Two minutes to fill in, most decisions in under 24 hours. We check your stated traffic sources, your domain or social presence, and your country to make sure we have offers that fit. If we don't have a strong match right now we'll tell you which categories to wait for instead of leaving you in limbo.

Question 3

How are commissions calculated and paid?

Accepted Answer

Each campaign sets its own model — CPA, RevShare, hybrid, or tiered. The exact terms are visible inside the campaign page once you're approved. Approved conversions clear after the campaign's holding period (typically a couple of weeks) and roll into your available balance. Payouts run weekly via Stripe Connect, PayPal Payouts, bank transfer, or crypto.

Question 4

Do I need to upload a W-9 or government ID?

Accepted Answer

If you choose Stripe Connect or PayPal Payouts as your payout method, KYC and tax form collection happen inside those platforms automatically — you don't upload anything to us. If you choose bank transfer or crypto, we collect a tax form (W-9 / W-8BEN / W-8BEN-E) and, above certain volumes, a government ID. Manual uploads are reviewed within one business day.

Question 5

Can I split-test creatives and traffic sources?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every tracking link supports five free-form Sub-IDs (`s1` through `s5`) plus a separate `source` slot. The reports filter by every Sub-ID independently so you can A/B-test creatives, channels, audiences, geos, and dates in production. Old clicks keep their original Sub-IDs forever — you never lose historical attribution.

Question 6

What support do affiliates get?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated affiliate dashboard with real-time clicks, conversions, fraud signals, and earnings; a public knowledge base with deep-dive guides; per-campaign creative libraries; and direct messaging with the campaign manager inside the platform. Top performers get an account manager who actively surfaces new offers, custom commission tiers, and exclusive caps.
