Retail checkout & commissions
The customer checks out with the retailer. The affiliate publisher does not collect COD or fulfil the order through this referral model.
Program and commission conditions
- A site must install links and generate a test click before review; pre-approval traffic does not monetize. Each distinct campaign/site is reviewed separately.
- The retailer handles the retail order and its return policy. Reversed, rejected or refunded purchases can affect commissions.
What a scoped engagement should establish
Confirm the approved publisher account, permitted websites, target markets and usable payout method. Select authorized links or product data, place disclosures next to recommendations and define how prices, images and expired offers are maintained. Review reporting and commission reversals separately from retail fulfilment.
Agree build deliverables, client-owned accounts, third-party subscriptions and ongoing support separately. Do not send account passwords or API keys in the public enquiry form.
