Using E-junkie Affiliate Programs

Create and manage an Affiliate program for your products

NOTE: Affiliate programs that you create with E-junkie do not work with ClickBank or TrialPay checkout payments.

Obtain your Affiliate Sign-Up Link code

1. After adding your product(s), go to Seller Admin > Affiliate Program Settings.
2. From the yellow box under Common Affiliate Sign-Up Link and Instructions, select and copy the link code provided.
3. Paste the code into your Web site page, wherever you are recruiting Affiliates to join your program.

Common Affiliate Program

This is the simplest method, for when you want to offer the same commission percentage for all of your products and issue just one easy link for each Affiliate to use. You can override this Common percentage with product-specific percentages (see below), but you cannot exempt any products from granting commission if you have a Common percentage set.

1. After adding your product(s), go to Seller Admin > Affiliate Program Settings;
2. Enter an Affiliate Share percentage -- this is the percentage of the purchase price each Affiliate will earn for sales they referred to your site;
3. Enter the URL of the page which you want Affiliate links to point to -- this is the "Landing Page" where buyers will arrive after clicking any Affiliate's link, and can be a specific product page, your main Shopping page, or just your site's homepage (you do not need a special landing page just for Affiliate links);
4. Optional: Enter the URL of a "More Information" page for Affiliates to refer to on your site -- your Affiliates will see a More Info button in their Affiliate Admin, which they can click to obtain any special instructions you may provide for their reference.
5. Click Submit to save changes.

Product-Specific Affiliate Programs

You will need to set a percentage and select at least one of the available link types to your affiliates:

• Hop link is a link which redirects the user to the product detail page you've entered in product's affiliate settings. Before redirecting, it sets a cookie with affiliate id information on user's computer (lasts for 6 months). Once this user comes to your site and buys anything using the BUY NOW/ADD TO CART buttons, the affiliate info gets passed to PayPal and then to us along with payment data. When our system sees an affiliate id along with sale data, it e-mails the affiliate about the sale and updates the affiliate share. Please note, if an affiliate links to you using a "hop link", she will be eligible for affiliate share for all other products sold during that transaction if those products have the hop link option enabled.
• Direct link is a purchase button which affiliate can place on their website and sell your product directly from their site. Payment will still come to your account and rest of the process will stay the same. This option will work if you are selling with PayPal, PayPal Pro, Google Checkout or Authorize.Net. You should not use this option if your product has variants.

For all your products you will get a common link which you can place on your website. You users can sign-up as affiliates using that link. When they register/login, they will get the a hop link to your site OR they will get a direct purchase button (payment will still go to you) OR both (based on your settings for that product). Any purchase made using those links will earn them the percentage of sale setup by you.

Paying your affiliates

After each month you will be able to download a "mass payment" file from E-junkie admin. You can go to your PayPal account to make a mass payment using that file. When you make a mass payment, the affiliates get the complete amount you pay without any fee deduction. You pay a very small fee to make a mass payment. To learn more about PayPal mass payments, click here.

We only offer Mass Payment file to make it convenient for you. If you have an understanding with your affiliates to pay with an alternate payment method, you can simply use the Mass Payment file for figuring out how much you owe to each affiliate. Make sure that you use a payment method which can be tracked in the even of a dispute.

Viewing Affiliate Sales

Affiliates will get an e-mail each time a sale gets initiated from their links. Affiliates can also see the sales log in their account and you can see affiliate sales in your E-junkie transactions log.

Editing Individual Affiliates

To view a list of Affiliates who have joined your program, go to Seller Admin > View/Edit Affiliates; for each Affiliate on that list, you can:

• Delete (Ban) an Affiliate - Deleted Affiliates cannot rejoin your program;
• Grant an Extra Percentage - For highly-productive Affiliates or when you want to negotiate a custom commission with each Affiliate;
• Grant a Per-Sale Bonus - Another incentive to reward or negotiate with Affiliates.
