How does the influencer program know when I should receive credit for an order?
Our system tracks a cookie that is automatically applied to the computer of a person who clicks on a banner or text link that has your influencer ID number embedded within it. Each banner or link that you create is specifically tagged with your ID number, letting us know that you deserve commission on the sales you send our way.
You can access all of these banners and links by logging in your Account and choosing from any of the banners or simple text links available. These links can be used from any website, put directly into a browser or emailed out in the case of text links. You can test a link by copying and pasting it into your browser. If you are directed to the Cat Tree UK homepage, the link is working.
When and how do I get paid?
Cat Tree UK will pay your monthly commission by STRIPE around the 22nd of the following month. Your account needs to have a balance of £15 or more before the end of the month in order to receive a payment. Otherwise, it will continue to roll forward into the next month until the £15 minimum is reached and we can issue a payment.
If a visitor comes to our websites from your website but does not purchase on that visit, you can still earn commission on sales from that customer if they return and make a purchase within 30 days. This works even if they navigate directly to the website on a return visit as long as they haven’t deleted their cookies.
Do I earn commission credits if someone clicks on a product on my site and then buys a different product?
Yes. You will receive full credit for any product that is purchased by a customer who clicks on your influencer link across Cat Tree UK.
How do product returns affect my commission?
If a customer returns a product for a refund, or if credit card charges are reversed due to a dispute or credit card fraud, your account will be debited the commission. But don’t worry – we’ve built a great product and we expect extremely low return rates.
