Quick FAQ:
How much do you earn if you refer someone?
50% of the CMS Market sales commission after payment gateway fees (PayPal) have been deducted. CMS Market works by letting developers post their products for sale, and CMS Market takes a portion of each sale. As an affiliate, you will earn 50% of the CMS Market commission from each sale you refer.
How do you refer users?
Simply link to any of our pages using your affiliate ID and we take care of the rest. For 15 days after your referral, you get credit for any purchases from that user.
An example affiliate link to the home page would look like: http://www.cmsmarket.com/?a_aid=your_id
What kind of links can I use?
Text or banner links are availble to use. Additionally, you can use the CMS Market Product Widget to link to your favorite product or categories. The widget has a parameter to enter your affiliate ID, and all links to CMS Market will automatically be updated. It couldn't be simpler.
Do I only get a commission for products I link to or own?
No. If you link to any page on the site (product, forums, home page, etc), and a user purchases any extension that suits their needs, you earn a commission.
If I sell my product on CMS Market, does this affect my author commission?
Not at all. The Affiliate program is separate from the author program, and combined, allow you to earn up to 80% of your sale price. If you want to help promote us and your products, we want to reward you for that!
