You select and recommend. The visitor buys from the retailer, and you may receive commission for a qualifying result. Joining a network does not automatically mean approval by every brand.

WITH A WEBSITE OR YOUR OWN CHANNEL

You do not always need a shop to be a publisher.

As a creator

Connect offers to Instagram, TikTok or YouTube content when the programme accepts your channel. For example, a household demonstration, a fashion edit or a travel video.

Recommend services too

Accommodation, guided tours, tickets and experiences can also be affiliate offers. GetYourGuide's direct creator programme includes tools for social recommendations.

With your own website

Create a blog, a specialist catalogue or detailed guides. Approved product feeds can update the catalogue while your own content helps visitors choose.

THE BASIC IDEA

You recommend.
The retailer sells.

In affiliate marketing, a website owner or content creator introduces another business's offer. A tracked, approved purchase or another agreed action may earn commission.

It helps to distinguish three participants: the publisher, the merchant and the network connecting them.

HOW IT WORKS AT A GLANCE

Where recommendations meet purchases.

THE PUBLISHER JOURNEY · SIX STAGESHow does a recommendation become a payment?
Dognet / Awin / TradeTracker
The network's roleProgrammes and relationshipsTracking and reportingCommission settlement
  1. 01PUBLISHER

    Business, platform and registration

    For the business model described here, start with an active business. Choose a platform, register and provide the website or social channel you plan to use.

    Result: a publisher account submitted for approval
  2. 02PUBLISHER + ADVERTISER

    Choose products or services

    Check the country, audience, commission basis and promotion rules, then apply to relevant programmes.

    Result: an approved partnership
  3. 03PUBLISHER

    Recommendations and feed setup

    Create useful content and tracked links. For an affiliate shop, import an approved feed and configure updates; as a creator, use your approved channel.

    Result: a working publishing channel
  4. 04PLATFORM + MERCHANT

    From click to conversion

    The platform records clicks from your channel that can be tracked under its rules. When a purchase or booking occurs, the merchant's tracking reports the conversion and pending commission is recorded. Processing times vary by partner.

    Result: recorded commission, not yet final
  5. 05PLATFORM + ADVERTISER

    Validation and payment

    The platform and advertiser check the conversion, purchase validity and any returns or cancellations. Commission is then approved or declined. Approved amounts are paid under the platform's own payment terms.

    Result: approved or declined commission; payment according to the rules
  6. 06PUBLISHER

    Review performance every month

    Compare earnings, clicks and conversions. Identify your strengths, weaker topics and seasonal changes in demand and available offers.

    Result: informed next steps
Tracking has conditions.

The tracking window, attribution rules and technical setup affect eligibility. A click alone does not earn a sales commission. Social purchases and coupon codes can only be attributed through tracking supported and configured by that programme. An active business is the basis of the model described here; accepted legal status varies by country and programme. This is a general model; your chosen programme sets the details.

    Define the product or service, target market, commission model and accepted publisher types.

    Result: a defined programme
  2. 02TECHNICAL PREPARATION

    Tracking and publisher materials

    Tracking integration, testing, landing pages, creative assets and a product feed where needed.

    Result: a tested launch
  3. 03PUBLISHER

    Publisher approval and promotion

    You decide which applicant shops, recommendation sites and creators to accept into your programme. Approved publishers recommend your product or service on their own websites or authorised social channels.

    Result: a relevant recommendation
  4. 04CUSTOMER + BUSINESS

    From click to conversion

    The customer orders in your shop, buys through an approved social commerce channel or uses a publisher-specific coupon code. The tracking integration reports the conversion to the platform.

    Result: a recorded purchase or booking
  5. 05ADVERTISER + PLATFORM

    Validation and approval

    Purchase validity, fulfilment, cancellations and returns are checked. Commission is approved or declined according to the programme rules.

    Result: a validated commission decision
  6. 06PLATFORM → PUBLISHER

    Finalising payment

    The publisher receives payment from the network or direct programme operator named in their agreement. The advertiser settles programme fees. Each platform has its own payment conditions.

    Result: settled commission
