4. How Are Sales Tracked?
We track referrals through your unique affiliate link that places a cookie on the customer’s browser. Use our dashboard to see your referred page views, subscriptions, and more.
5. How Much Commission Do I Get for Each GRI Order?
For every sale of a GRI product (minus customer returns), you’ll earn a 20% recurring commission paid monthly for the customer's lifetime. The 20% is calculated from the plan’s monthly fee (discounts applied). Add-ons are not included. As a GRI affiliate, you'll benefit from a unique tiered commission structure to maximize your earning potential. For every affiliate you directly sign up, you'll earn a 2.5% commission on their sales. Additionally, when those affiliates sign up their affiliates, you'll continue to earn a 2.5% commission on the sales generated by these second-tier affiliates. This means you not only earn from your direct referrals but also from the network of affiliates they bring in, creating a continuous stream of income as your affiliate network expands.
6. I Just Made a Referral, but It Wasn’t Tracked
GRI’s affiliate dashboard can take up to 24 hours to show a new referral, so give it some time. To see your conversions, log in to the dashboard and check the ‘Referred customers’ area. If your referral doesn’t display after 24 hours, you can claim it by contacting affiliates@glycocalyx.com within 14 days of the subscription date. Sometimes the client you refer doesn’t use the affiliate link in the right way, the cookie doesn’t fire, or another disruption takes place. In these cases, please get in touch. You’ll be required to provide some information so our team can investigate further and confirm that you should get credit for the sale.
7. When Will I Get Paid?
Once the balance of your approved commissions (both one-time and recurring) is more than $100.00, your commissions are eligible for payment and will be automatically included in the next payment round. Payments are made via PayPal or Venmo between the 1st and 10th of each month.
8. Will I Really Get the Recurring Commission Forever?
Yes. You’ll receive recurring commissions for the lifetime of the customer. We only stop paying the recurring commission if the referred customer cancels their order
9. Is There an Alternative Payment Method to PayPal and Venmo?
No. Currently, PayPal and Venmo are the only payment methods available to receive your commissions.
10. Am I Allowed to Run Paid Ads?
Affiliates cannot bid (regarding online advertising, including but not limited to pay-per-click or pay-per-impression campaigns) on any keywords or phrases containing GRI branded terms and cannot include GRI affiliate links in paid ads that impersonate our brand. See our affiliate terms for more details. We don’t object to you running paid ads (without using GRI branded terms) to drive traffic to a page on your site that contains a GRI affiliate link.
11. Can I Place My Affiliate Link on a Third-party Traffic Source?
No. Placing a GRI affiliate link directly on a third-party traffic source is forbidden. That includes banner exchanges, click exchanges, press releases, affiliate networks, or similar methods.
