What is an Insertion Order?

An Insertion Order is your agreement with your affiliates. This is where you dictate the commission amount, tiers and special terms. You will need to have at least one public Insertion Order which will serve as your default offering to an affiliate. If you have other partners that you want to do a special commission rate for, then you would create an individual Insertion Order and that may have a different percentage of payout to the affiliate. Your affiliates can propose a different commission rate that they desire as well and you can either approve or deny those requests.

How often are affiliates paid?

Affiliates are paid once a month on the 15th of the month. Keep in mind that there is a locking period to protect you from paying commissions on returned orders. Affiliates are only paid on transactions that have been “locked”. The system is set up for a 30 day locking period. Once transactions are past 30 days old, they are put into a locked status. Those locked transactions are then paid on the 15th of the month. Once a transaction is locked it cannot have a return processed in the system.

Do I have to pay my affiliates or does FastSpring handle payment to affiliates?

Can affiliates be paid different commission amounts?

What is the cost of using the affiliate system?

The cost of using the affiliate system is based on only transactions that have an affiliate payout amount associated with it and it is 25% of the affiliate’s commission. For example, if an affiliate with a 20% commission rate sells a $100 product, then the affiliate is paid 20% of $100, or $20 for the sale. The fee you incur is 25% of the affiliate’s $20 commission, or $5. So for the $100 product, you make $100 minus $20 paid to affiliate minus the $5 fee, or $75. Note: this calculation does not include the service fee for the order itself, as stated in your FastSpring User Agreement. Any questions about fees for using the system can be sent to affiliate@fastspring.com.
