Important
Commission only applies from order shipment, not order placement; refunds negate commission. 30-day attribution window is moderate but means late conversions (after 30 days) generate no revenue. 12-month commission duration is fixed; customers ordering after 12 months don't generate affiliate earnings. $25 subscription bonus only applies if customer actually upgrades to paid tier (free trial users don't trigger bonus). Exclusions: sample orders, free trials, repeat subscriptions don't count.
Commission calculated on shipped orders (not placed orders), introducing timing gap between click and earning. 30-day window is strict; customer must complete first order within month or affiliation lost. Subscription bonus requires upgrade; free-only users don't qualify. Store owners canceling accounts within warranty period may generate refunds negating commission. High-volume sellers more valuable than one-time orders. Order exclusions include trials and samples, reducing commission on experimental orders.
What you would be selling
