How do I refer customers?Once
you have shared your link, if it is clicked and the user completes a
purchase from the Rival Crafts store you will recieve a commission for
referring the customer.

Affiliates
earn 10% of any purchase they have referred as standard. We also offer
the following tiered commission rates based on your per monthly total
referred sales.

Tier 1 Standard - Total sales amount £0.00
to £250.00 = 10.00% 

For every referred sale up to £250.00 of referred sales in one calendar month you will earn 10% commission

Tier 2 Silver
- Total sales amount
£250.00 to £500.00  = 12.00%

For every referred sale after £250.00 and up to £500.00 of referred sales in one calendar month you will earn 12% commission

Tier 3 Gold
- Total sales amount £500.00 plus =
15.00%

For every referred sale after £500.00 of referred sales in one calendar month you will earn 15% commission

At the end of each calendar month your commission rate will reset to 10%

All commission rates are calculated in £ sterling

Paypal payments will be made in £ sterling to U.K residents.

International payments are made via paypal and the currency is converted from £ sterling to your countries currency.

The minimum payout amount is £10.00 GBP.

If you selected Paypal as your preferred method of payment 
Your commission is calculated at the end
of each calendar month and you will receive whatever commission you
have earned for that calendar month within 7 days. 

The
reason it can take up to 7 days to receive your calculated payment for
any one month is because we have to allow for any product returns and
for processing refunds to customers which would have an affect on the
amount of commission you are due.

If you selected Gift Card as your preferred method of payment
You will automatically receive a Gift Card code via email every time you reach the minimum payout amount of £10.00

Rival Crafts currently offers Paypal or store Gift Cards as methods of receiving your payouts.

Paypal - Money due to you is paid into your paypal / bank account 

Gift Cards - You will receive a store Gift Card code via email every time you reach the minimum payout amount. This can be redeemed at checkout when you shop at Rival Crafts, only one code can be used per transaction.

Cookies last for 30 days once an affiliate link has been clicked by a potential customer.  This means that the potential customer has 30 days to complete a purchase from the Rival Crafts store and the Affiliate will still earn a commission.

When
you refer a potential new customer, the affiliate program sets a browser cookie for that
user. Even if they close the browser and do not make a purchase right
away, but return in the future (in the time of the cookie duration, in
this case, 30 days) and make a purchase, that purchase will be
associated with your account. 

Affiliatly
is the third party Affiliate tracking service used by Rival Crafts to help track, manage, calculate and
pay Affiliates.

Tracking is achieved by using link clicks and browser cookies.

Affiliatly tracks users that were referred to Rival Crafts by clicking on an Affiliate link you've shared. When a user visits, a cookie is stored on the user’s computer, so
the program knows that this is an Affiliate referred user even if the user
doesn't make an order right away (cookies are stored for 30 days by
default).

When a user completes a purchase in the Rival Crafts store, Affiliatly checks if this customer has a cookie, i.e. its a customer
referred by an Affiliate. If so, it adds the order to the
database for the Affiliate who referred the user.

Affiliates earn commission on the net revenue of completed sales. This is the total amount of the order value minus shipping fees, payment processing fees, discounts applied and any tax amount (if applicable) made from referred
users. 

You can share it wherever you want, to potential customers, clients, friends or family members.

Post about it in your blog.

Add it to your own website with Rival Crafts banners and promotional media such as product pictures etc.

Social media is a brilliant way
to promote your Affiliate link, set up advertisements,
social media, and email campaigns.

Whatever works for
you. 

You will only see orders with the status "Paid". 

When
an order is added to our databases, by default it is marked with
the status "Not Paid".

Later when payment has been recieved for this order its status is changed to "Paid". 

The affiliate will now see that order appear in
their Affiliate panel. This feature is in place to deter fraud.

Why didn't I recieve all of my commission?

We
have a very high standard of customer support and do our best to provide our customers with a resolution incase there are any problems with their order. Although we have a very low return and refund rate, occasionally we may need to refund the customer for part or all of their order, this can happen if they change their mind and want to return an item. If this happens,
any commission applied to that order will be subtracted accordingly.
