If you’re new to affiliate marketing, the idea of earning commissions for promoting other people’s products can be both exciting and confusing. How do you know how much you’ll earn? How is the sale tracked and reported? When will you get paid for the sales you’ve driven?

Overview

Here’s a simple overview of how GetValue commissions work:

1. You find a product to promote and create a referral link.
2. You promote the product online.
3. A customer clicks on your Link, goes to the GetValue website, and ends up purchasing the product from GetValue.
4. You receive credit for promoting the sale. Your commission is calculated based on the net sale price (see below) and credited to your account within 72 hours after a sale.

How Commissions are Calculated

When a new user clicks your referral link, signs up for an account and purchases an item, you will receive 40% of the purchased item price (whichever is higher). If they buy a $200 item, you get $80

Getting Paid

Obviously, the goal of being an affiliate is to get paid for your efforts. To receive your first commission payment, there are two requirements:

1. You must reach GetValue payment threshold.
2. You must meet the Customer Distribution Requirement.

For more details about these requirements, and more information about how and when we send payments to you, see the How We Pay You article.

Refund and Charge backs

One question you may have is whether you will still receive your affiliate commission if the product is returned or if the customer requests a chargeback on the purchase. Unfortunately, the answer is no. All money is returned to the customer, so the vendor and affiliate must return their portions of the sale as well.

Because of the 60-day return period for all GetValue products, we utilize a return allowance to cover the possibility of returns.
