How It Works
Vendor provides a coded link and/or embed code associated to your affiliate account. Earnings might be based on impression, click, conversion (sale), or other criteria. You do not have to be a paying user of the vendors service in order to be an affiliate. You do typically have to apply to desired vendors and meet their individual requirements to obtain and retain each affiliation.
Affiliate Platform / Network
Offers the chance to affiliate with multiple vendors from within a single platform. Consolidates the statistics and earnings reporting and payout processing, saving you from having to login into and track through multiple dashboards. You still have to apply to desired vendors and meet their individual requirements to obtain and retain each affiliation.
