How do I direct existing Plimus affiliates the request page of my products? (top)
You can use the link below:
https: //www.plimus.com/jsp/developer_login.jsp?contractIdToSell=XXXX
Where XXXX is the contract id
After the affiliate is logged in, we will redirect them to a page where they can submit a request to sell your product.
How do I sign up new affiliates? (top)
There are 2 options:
1. Ask your affiliates to create an affiliate account with us at:
https: //www.plimus.com/jsp/new_developer.jsp?type=AFFILIATE and send you their new affiliate id or username. Once you have the affiliate information you can add them at the "Current Affiliates" tab under the "Affiliates" section.
2. From your website, direct your new affiliates to:
For a single contract request:
https: //www.plimus.com/jsp/new_developer.jsp?type=AFFILIATE
&referringDeveloperId=XXXX&referringContractId=YYYY
Where XXXX is your developer id and YYYY is the contract id
For all products/contracts request:
https: //www.plimus.com/jsp/new_developer.jsp?type
=AFFILIATE&referringDeveloperId=XXXX
Where XXXX is your developer id and YYYY is the contract id (where applicable)
Once the affiliate registers, a new request will be created automatically.
What does the "Notify Affiliate Every Order" flag mean? (top)
If this flag is checked, the affiliate that generates the sale is cc'ed to the notification email we send you after each successful order.
What does the "Send Emails From Affiliate" flag mean? (top)
After each successful order we send a confirmation email to your customer (using the template you design and the email address you specified in the template).
If the "Send Emails From Affiliate" is checked, we will send it using the affiliate sales email address (from and reply to) instead of yours.
How is the affiliate commission calculated? (top)
The affiliate commission is calculated based on the product price regardless of Plimus' commission.
If your product costs $10 (subject to 10% commission) and you pay your affiliates 30%:
Your share 60% = $6
Affiliate share 30% = $3
Plimus Commission 10% = $1
If your product costs $150 (subject to 5% commission) and you pay your affiliates 30%
Your share 65% = $97.50
Affiliate share 30% = $45
Plimus Commission 5% = $7.50
