We’ll set you up with one of our website themes, and you’ll be able to control which products show on the site, and upload your logo, edit pages, and so on. The products on the site use our Product Finder to display retail offers to the site visitors. If someone clicks one of those offers, goes to the retailer’s website, and completes a purchase, you’ll earn a commission from that purchase.
Qualifying purchases from referrals will earn a 5% commission.
The more targeted traffic you push to the website, the more potential you have to earn. “Targeted” means the people who visit are actually interested in the products you’re promoting. The best way to achieve this is to link to the site from relevant content you create on your own website, blog, YouTube channel, and other social media profiles. The more value your content provides, the more likely people will be to follow the links, so make the content helpful and entertaining, . We recommend linking to the website homepage, categories, products, and search results, as appropriate for the topic of each piece of content.
Currently, all referrals are tracked through clicks on product offers directly on your CrystalCommerce affiliate website. We don’t have an affiliate link system with tracking in the URL, but you are welcome to post links on your social which go directly to a specific product page, category, or search result on the website, and any clicks on referred product offers will be tracked. The end result is similar to other major affiliate programs you may be familiar with, but the method is just a little different.
$99 per month, 2.5% transaction fees on your CrystalCommerce webstore, and 2.5%* transaction fees on the sales channel integrations. We don’t charge any fees for POS & Buylist transactions.
*For 3rd party sales channels, our 2.5% transaction fee is in addition to any normal fees collected by those sites.
We offer one affiliate theme, and a custom CSS page in your admin so you may do basic styling changes. You will also be able to upload your logo, plug in your social media links, change out banners, edit some page content, and control which products show in the homepage displays. Besides those, the website layout and design are not editable by you, but our development roadmap includes a drag and drop website builder tool which will be available in the future.
