Introduction
An advertiser creates a special offer to provide a particular commission rate on a select group of their products. Typically, a special offer is combined with the advertiser's regular offers.
If a consumer purchases a product covered by a special offer, you will earn a commission based on the special offer terms. If a consumer purchases a product not covered by the special offer, you will earn a commission based on the regular offer you are in.
Note
Advertisers can make a special offer private and only invite select publishers to participate.
View and Join Special Offers
To view special offers in the Publisher Dashboard, access an advertiser’s Offers tab on their profile page. The Special Offers section in the tab shows the start and end date and time for a special offer, the products it includes, the number of return days, and other information.
To participate in a special offer, select its corresponding checkbox. A pop-up containing the advertiser’s Terms and Conditions will appear. These vary per advertiser, so read the Terms and Conditions thoroughly.
You cannot participate in the offer unless you check the checkbox to indicate that you accept the Terms and Conditions:
You will be notified via the Notifications tab in the dashboard menu of any changes to an offer’s Terms and Conditions. You can also filter for offers with updated terms on the My Advertisers page.
Important Considerations
Once you opt into an active special offer, you remain in it until it expires. Before opting in, evaluate whether the offer is right for you.
For example, an advertiser's regular offer pays a 5% commission on all their products, but they create a special offer that pays publishers $2 per item for all electronic products. This means the $2 per-item commission is paid instead of the 5% commission. If you have successfully sold electronic products for this advertiser, but nearly all the purchases have been on products over $40, then the advertiser's regular offer is better.
Note
If you opted into a special offer that has not started, you could opt out by unchecking the checkbox corresponding to that offer on the Offers tab.
Multiple Offers and Commissioning
You can accept multiple special offers simultaneously. Suppose a customer purchases a product covered in more than one of the special offers you accepted. In that case, the special offer you accepted most recently takes priority over the others. You will be paid that most recent special offer’s commission.
