How is CANADAwater tracking affiliates?
It is done in two ways
- The
affiliate software tracks users on enjoycanadawater.ca who were referred
(by clicking on a link) from our affiliates. When such user visits our
site, a cookie is stored on the user’s computer, so the software knows
that this is an affiliated user even if the user doesn't make an order
right away.
- When a user makes
an order on enjoycanadawater.ca, the software checks if this client has a
cookie, i.e. its a client referred by an affiliate. If it’s true, it marks
the order in the database for the affiliate who referred the user.
How are referrals tracked
and for long will they be tracked for?
Tracking is accomplished using cookies. The duration of the active cookie is 180 days. This
means that if the referred visitor makes a purchase during those 180 days, their purchase will be associated with the
referring affiliate.
When the 180 days pass,
the visitor will no longer be associated with the affiliate and future
purchases will not be associated with the referring affiliate.
How are the affiliate's earnings calculated?
The affiliate earns a fixed 5% percent of the
total sum from purchases made from users, driven to CANADAwater by the
affiliate or just by driving traffic to enjoycanadawater.ca minus the
following:
1)
transactional
fees of 5% from payment processors and gateways
Typical
earnings are on 5% of 37.99 CAD minus services fees based on method of payment
to affiliates (if applicable)
Do affiliates earn on recurring
orders?
Yes!
Affiliates earn on all the first purchases and recurring orders at the
same fixed rate of 5%! These earnings are ongoing until the client cancels the
subscription, when refunds are issued or any type of fraudulent activities
occur.
Are there any tutorials
or instructions on how the CANADAwater Affiliate software works?

How often will I get paid? You will get paid every first week of the month based on the last month's earnings. Note: For cheque payment methods, there is a minimum of $25 before being paid out. If you don't reach the minimum it would be carried over to the following month until $25 or more will be reached to be paid out.
What are the referral
tracking methods offered?
Tracking by link
This is the default method for tracking users.
When affiliates register, they get a unique numerical ID. By adding this ID to
some of enjoycanadawater.ca URLs, affiliates can refer potential clients.
Example URLs:
http://enjoycanadawater.ca
and your product is
http://enjoycanadawater.ca/product-page-one
the affiliated links for affiliate with ID 1
(each affiliate would have their own number) are going to be:
http://enjoycanadawater.ca?aff=1
http://enjoycanadawater.ca/product-page-one?aff=1
Taking these links, the affiliate can share
them on their website, post them on IM (Skype, Viber, iMessage) and/or Social
media (Facebook, Twitter).
When someone clicks on them, they will go to enjoycanadawater.ca
and this visit will be associated with the affiliate with ID 1.
Tracking by QR code
This is another method suited for affiliates
without a website.
When affiliates log into their affiliate panel, in the “Information page” they
will see and will able to download a unique QR code. Again the can share it
online or print it for offline use. When someone scans the QR code with their
phone, they will be taken to enjoycanadawater.ca and the visit will be tracked
by QR cookie and it will be associated with the affiliate. Again when the
referred user makes a purchase, the affiliate, who referred them will be
credited.
Tracking by E-mail
This is the newest tracking method and with it,
you can associate certain client’s email with given affiliate and on EVERY purchase
of that client (as long as he is using the same email), the sale will be
associated with the affiliate.
Note: if the visitor has installed
tracker/JavaScript blocking plugin in his browser, his visit will not be
tracked by the app as the plugin will stop the execution of our code
– E-mail tracking overrides link/qr
tracking
- if
the client’s email is associated with affiliate A, on made purchase he
will be always associated with affiliate A, even if he has used the coupon
code of affiliate B or visited your site via the referral link of
affiliate C
-
– QR tracking and link tracking are on
the same level
- it
depends which method was used the first time the client entered
enjoycanadawater.ca – referred link or QR code. The commission rates is
the same for both methods.
Can an affiliate order
from CANADAwater with their own referral code?
No. Unfortunately this is not possible, however
there are incentives based on affiliate performance such as complimentary packs
of bottled water, concert and sporting event tickets, discounts to other
products and or services, etc.
