Hyperdesk Affiliate FAQ

Q: How do commissions work?

A: The standard commission rate for affiliates is 20% of every sale you make. Your commissions will be automatically tracked and paid by Plimus. Payments are made on the 15th of every month for all of your net sales from the prior month.

Q: How do I link to the product's website / order page?

A: There are 3 types of links you can use:

1. Direct link to the order page
2. Link to download the file (as entered by the vendor in "Product Download URL")
3. Link to the product website (as entered by the vendor in "Product URL")

If you are interested, you can request from The Skins Factory your very own coupon code so that you can provide a discount incentive to your customers. Note that this discount will be coming out of your commission, and must be approved and provided by The Skins Factory.

Q: How do I get the credit for a sale?

A: When a customer uses one of the affiliate links (to the order page, download or product URL), we install a cookie on their machine that is active for a year. When the customer purchases the product, we take the affiliate id from that cookie and credit your account.

Q: Is there any additional commission charged for affiliate sales?

A: No, there are no additional fees to you or to the publisher of the product you sell.

Q: Can I make the order page look like my website instead of the vendor's?

A: Yes, you can create a HTML template at the "BuyNow Setup" area and use the template id in the BuyNow links.
