Commissions
We want you to be happy and motivated to work with us as an affiliate. That’s why we offer 30% for each sale you drive for us (it can be the subscription option, the stand-alone theme, the bundle, or the services). For us, a sale is when a customer actually pays (a customer who asks for refund it’s not considered a paying one, so the context it’s not eligible). Please bear in mind that we don’t offer free trial periods anymore, and refunds are provided within the first 14-days.
We make the payouts on the 15th of the month, once you reach a minimum of $100 in referral revenue. We keep our promise and pay your money at the same time we pay our salaries, to treat everyone equal. However, we reserve the right to have a withhold period as follows: 30 days. This means that only 30 days after the sale, your commission is good to go.
You can always check the amount of money you’ve generated through Pixelgrade Affiliate Program by logging into pixelgrade.com/affiliate-area. You have access to all the information you need, to be up to date with your affiliate activity.
All sums are expressed in USD, not that we have anything with Canadian, Australian or other types of dollars.
That’s who we are today and that’s all we can do. We don’t know if it’s generous or way too low for your expectations, but what we do know is that we are transparent, hard-working and open-minded people. When we’ll get great results, and we’ll be able to do more for you, we will definitely find smart ways to reward your effort.
Best of luck, and start growing your pile of cash, buddy! 💰
