How merchant affiliate links and commissions really work.
Your step-by-step plan
- Check the merchant's current program, eligibility and terms before joining.
- Apply directly to the merchant or its authorized affiliate network.
- Promote only relevant products you genuinely understand.
- Use the merchant-issued tracking link and clearly disclose that you may earn a commission.
- Monitor conversions and payout status in the merchant's own dashboard.
