Share-it! will check the data for each newly registered affiliate and then notify the publisher. Since the publisher can either immediately accept a partnership with an affiliate or first check their information, there can be a short delay until the account is activated. This also depends on how often the publisher checks affiliate requests. In any case, we will notify you by e-mail of your request status.

After you have registered and your account has been activated, you will receive your login data for the Affiliate Control Panel. The Control Panel contains detailed information about your partnerships and products. After your account has been activated by the publisher, you can add a link to your Web site and market their products.

In the "Products" section of the Control Panel, you can create links to the relevant products and request authorization to market other products by the same software publisher.

After receiving the publisher's authorization, you will have two options to set up sales:

1. You can add a direct link to the publisher's Web site. After deciding which products you would like to market, use the Link Generator in the Control Panel ('Products' section) to activate your links to the product pages and the sales system. These links automatically contain your affiliate ID. This ensures that every sale you make can be attributed to you. You can then integrate these links into your Web site.
2. Add a link to the publisher's Web site. Though this method might not immediately generate sales, it places a cookie on the visitor's computer, proving that the visitor became aware of the Web site through your site. This will ensure your commission in case of a sale. To place this type of link, you also need to use the Link Generator in the Control Panel.

Please note:
The publisher, not share-it!, is responsible for activating your account or authorizing product marketing. Also note that activation/authorization might be delayed. In any case, you will be notified by e-mail of all status changes.

Share-it! sends out Payment Reports to affiliates on the 8th of the each month for the previous month's sales. Payment is then made on the 15th for the previous month's earnings, provided you reach the minimum payment amount of 100 EUR/USD or 70 GBP in commission earnings.

There are two methods to track your sales: You can choose to rely on the affiliate ID, which is contained in your unique order link, or you can have us place a cookie on the user's machine with your affiliate ID stored in it. If the user purchases the software at a later time, the cookie will be recognized and the sale assigned to you.

You can access sales reports in the Affiliate Control Panel. These provide an overview of your sales and commission payments by date. share-it! does not, however, disclose end customer data, since you are not the legal owner of this data.

Yes, you can edit your styles in the Affiliate Control Panel, where you can set a default style for the order process with the share-it! Style Editor.

Using the Link Generator, you can generate links to an order page, a Web site, or a catalog page.You can find this function under Products > Link Generator, or go to Products > Find, filter for "Partnership exists", and click on "Generate product links" to the right of the product.

To generate shopping cart, product and order page links, do the following:

• If you did not access this page directly via Products > Link Generator, please enter the product ID.
• Select the page in the order process you would like to display.
• Then select the language to be displayed. (If no selection is made, English will be the default display language)
• You can also define a URL reference for the back link. This URL will be used if the customer selects "Continue shopping" after placing a product into the shopping cart. You can link to your Web site or display it as a reference if you have a store page. Your customer can then continue purchasing products.
• If you click on the "Generate Product Links" button, the HTML code is displayed in an output window.

If you generate links to the publisher's Web site or a different URL, share-it! will place on the customer's computer a cookie valid for six months containing your affiliate ID. If a customer visits the publisher's Web site for the first time, views the product descriptions and comes back later to buy a product, share-it! will be able to determine using the cookie on the customer's computer that this customer was originally directed to this Web site from your site. You will receive commission from the publisher for the completed sale, even at a later date. Every link generated by the Link Generator as described above contains your affiliate ID so that sales generated can be attributed to you. You can also create individual catalogs and allocate products from one or more publishers to these catalogs. Use the Link Generator to link to a catalog page so that you have to maintain your catalog only, rather than the links to the individual products. Your customers will see a Web site listing all products in that particular catalog.
