How Does Contabo Affiliate Program Work in Detail?

Tracking Visits


Once your website visitors click on our banner or text link, they are being forwarded to our website and the tracking process starts. We use state-of-art privacy friendly technology provided by Commission Junction to ensure that even if they do not place their order right away, you will still receive commission.

Order Summary


Once a visitor from your website places an order, you will see that in your Commission Junction account. Once a month, the orders are reviewed and approved by us for commission payout.

Qualified Orders


To yield a commission, an order needs to meet several criteria: it needs to be paid by the customer and not cancelled within the first 30 days. All of these are described in detail on the Commission Junction page of this Affiliate Program.

Commission Accrual


You will receive commission for each new customer's first order. That is, if one customer orders multiple products, you will receive commission for the product ordered first.

Grace Period


Your commission earnings will be officially credited to your CJ account after a 60 day waiting period. Once this time period is over, CJ will process the payment to your account according to their terms.

Payouts

You can withdraw the funds from your Commission Junction account, using any payment method CJ offers for your location.
