Everything you need.

Built from the ground up, Commission Factory is the entire suite when it comes to starting and running an affiliate campaign.

The system has been designed to educate-as-you-go and caters to both the novice affiliate manager to the most advanced.

It‘s all there when you need it and being a web-based platform means you can access your account at anytime, from anywhere and from a range of different devices.

Industry leading platform.

Our platform was created from a marriage of experience and skills ranging from graphic design to programming to ensure you have the most gorgeous and functional affiliate network.

The symbiosis of form and function is paramount to the success of Commission Factory and why our clients love using our platform.

Our system is also supported by experienced merchant and affiliate managers.

Quality affiliates.

We have an ever growing pool of affiliates that are always on the lookout for offers/programs to promote.

Our affiliate base is across a broad range of widely used and accepted verticals, specialisation and promotional methods.

Automated security and authority checks are done on every affiliate that becomes a member, to ensure high quality standards and integrity are maintained.

Monthly servicing.

Basic $99/Month, Enterprise $149/Month or $0/Month if you choose to use our network exclusively for your affiliate program/campaign.

Being exclusive gives you the maximum feature/service set plus access to our valuable affiliate directory, therefore giving you unrestricted access to our affiliate pool and opportunity for faster program growth.

No excess baggage.

We do not charge extra fees for hosting and providing your banners and data feeds to affiliates. All of this data and media is hosted on our Content Delivery Network and is load distributed to servers around the world.

Below industry average override.

We charge a small network override fee on top of each commission paid to an affiliate.

The network override fee is 25% of the commission (not the total sale amount).

For example, on a $10 commission to an affiliate, we would add a $2.50 network override fee.

Do I pay a setup charge?

Definitely not. We operate by charging a monthly retainer or access fee, alongside our 25% override which is present on every single affiliate sale.

Do I need a credit card?

It is definitely preferable that you have access to a company credit card as our automatic payment options are simplified with credit cards.

Am I charged fees only when my account is live?

No. Your monthly access fee is effective from the time you create an account. This is why we move and encourage you to move fast in getting live.

Can I negotiate these fees?

All fees are negotiable but we will require facts and figures to show your proposed volume. Negotiations are most effective once you are live and have a proven track record.

Can I cancel at any time?

Before you have gone live you can cancel at any time although your first months fees are non-refundable. After you have gone live, 30 days notice is required.

Can‘t I just get an invoice every month?

No, not really. We operate much like any other large-scale internet advertising medium and cannot hold debt for our customers.

Our pre-pay structure or automatic re-deposits ensures we have the funds to pay your affiliates and keep everyone happy : )

Are my fees tax deductible?

It‘s all tax deductible and is classified as Self promotion, Advertising and/or Marketing expenses. We supply an invoice for every processed payment electronically - we‘re a paper-free company.

Commission...

Commissions or leads are how you remunerate your affiliates for their efforts.

Commission types.

Choose from various remuneration types such as percentage per sale, dollars per sale, or dollar amount per sign up or lead.

Performance incentives.

You‘d give your staff performance incentives and bonuses - why not your affiliates too?
Easily setup automated tiered commissions and bonuses.

Program restrictions.

Fully customise your allowed and restricted promotional types such as coupon sites, PPC, Cashback and Rewards sites or Email affiliates.

This means full control and transparency with the affiliates that want to work with you.

Groups and profiles.

Group and profile your affiliates by their performance, site types or promotional methods.

This allows you to customise your communications by group or see who‘s performing and who‘s not.

Message centre.

Our Message Centre allows for network-wide communications with your affiliates and in turn they can contact you.

Instant messaging in this fashion promotes a better business relationship, loyalty and growth.

Best before...

If you‘re running seasonal promotions (something we definitely encourage), you can set expiry dates on your banners so affiliates know when to stop promoting - the banners will also automatically change to the defaults you have selected in your account.

Historical Statistics

How you have performed historically.

Download reports.

All reports and tables are downloadable in CSV, XML and JSON formats so you can download and analyse whenever you like and in the manner that suits you. We have the following reports:

• Overview
• Traffic sources
• Creative reports
• Affiliate report

Our gatekeeper.

Before an affiliate can create an account their IP address is subjected to a blacklist check against a global database of known spammers, scrapers and harvesters.

Should an IP address fail this automated check, the user is unable to create an account with Commission Factory.

Terms and Conditions

Letting affiliates know where you stand on certain promotional methods and techniques is the first step in protecting yourself.

Our system automatically generates your terms and conditions based on the options you select in your account and what promotional types you deem acceptable.

We don‘t assume everyone knows how to write a comprehensive agreement, so we‘ll do it for you.

Trademark and brand monitoring.

We randomly perform checks on major search engines for our clients trademarked terms or brands.
As a standard feature we allow all merchants to specify any negative keywords in PPC campaigns.

Preventing the use of TM terms in PPC search and top level domains upholds the integrity of your brand. Allowing affiliates to use your TM freely on the internet may eventually lead to forfeiting your rights to that name.

To approve or not to approve.

The best way to prevent any fraudulent or damaging activity is to screen all of your affiliate applications. Legitimate and ethical affiliates are more than willing to share how they‘ll promote you and information about themselves.

Manually approving affiliates is available to all of our Enterprise customers and allows you to ensure that your new affiliates’ business models seem legitimate and reasonable.

Multiple tracking.

To ensure the highest affiliate participation and motivation it is highly important all sales are tracked and never missed.

We are always finding new, non-performance sacrificing ways of tracking sales and include cookies, user agent/IP, Flash and others we can‘t reveal.

High traffic loads.

Operating from a World class data centre with high specification dedicated servers able to process our daily data and traffic.

Our servers are secured, monitored and expertly maintained on Windows Server 2008 R2 machines with full scalability.
