Affiliate terms

Affiliate commissions

If you promote Acowebs’s products and services on your website, Acowebs will pay you a commission for every WordPress plugin that is sold to a third party through a referral link on your site.

The current commission percentage is 30%. Acowebs has the right to change this percentage at any time without notice. The affiliate will be notified of any changes to the commission percentage by email.

Commission will be paid for the first year that a customer buys an annual or lifetime license for one of Acowebs’s plugins. Commission will be paid for any renewals of the license after the first year. Even though, Acowebs has the right to change this in the future depending on the changes in the market.

As an affiliate of Acowebs, you should direct your referral links to our main website. This could be to our homepage, the Plugins page, individual plugin sales pages, or blog posts/tutorials. We will not pay commission for affiliate links to a plugin demo site or any support pages.

Acowebs will keep an accurate and updated record of the data used to calculate the Commission that is owed to the Affiliate. The relevant totals will be made available to the Affiliate in the Affiliate Area on acowebs.com. Doing this will help ensure that the Affiliate is able to get what they are entitled to in a timely and effective manner.

Payouts

Acowebs’s 30-day refund policy means that any Commissions earned in January will be paid out during the first week of March; February Commissions will be paid out during the first week of April, and so on. This schedule ensures that our Affiliates are always being fairly compensated for the work they do each month.

Payment will be made in USD to the PayPal account associated with the payment email address which the Affiliate provided during registration. 

For each payout, the minimum amount is $100. If the total payout is less than this amount, it will be rolled over and added to your next payout.  If there is any change in the minimum amount for payout, Acowebs will inform the affiliate via email.

Rejected payments

Acowebs has the right to reject any referrals if the affiliate violates any of the affiliate terms. Below are some examples.

If Acowebs already paid the commission for any of those, Acowebs has the full right to deduct the same amount in future payments.

Tax

Acowebs is not responsible for any taxes that the Affiliate owes due to their relationship with Acowebs. The Affiliate is responsible for their own tax affairs.

Cookie expiry

The cookies we use to track the usage of referral links are only stored for 30 days. If a customer purchases a plugin after the cookie has expired, from another browser, or on a different device, then we won’t be able to pay out a commission
