Before we go into how you can earn commissions, it's important to know what reward options are available. There are two reward options that a Kickbooster referral program can offer:
1. Cash back commission
Offered by all Crowdfunding Campaign and select eCommerce programs
Cash back commissions are paid via PayPal
Minimum payout requirement of $20
2. Store credit
Only available for eCommerce programs
Note: A program's signup page will list the reward type.
How do I actually earn rewards?
In short, when successfully paid referrals are made using your unique referral link, you will be eligible for the reward set by the program owner.
Example: Let's say the program owner is offering you 10% cash back commission for your referrals and someone places an order of $100 using your affiliate link, you will earn $10.
To further elaborate, when you sign up to a referral program, you'll receive a unique referral link to use when promoting the Crowdfunding Campaign or Shopify store. So whether you're promoting on Facebook, or writing an article on your website, you will need to use your referral link in order for your referrals to be tracked.
Any referred pledges to a campaign or orders on a store that are made through your unique referral link will be eligible for the reward that the owner is offering.
How much can I expect to make?
When you view a program's details either through our Marketplace or through the program's signup page, you will see what the program is offering as a reward:
Once you've signed up to a program, the program's details including the reward info can also be found on your Programs dashboard:
Note: Your commissions are based on the total dollar amount or a pledge or order that is placed through your Affiliate link and the reward percentage that the referral program is offering.
In terms of how much you can anticipate making, that is really up to your audience size and conversion rate. If you are looking for tips on where to share your affiliate link, check out this article.
